856 starter gen Main Bolt.. advice

[FLtractor 203]

Evening,

 

attempted to remove 856 starter generator to bench test it but didn’t know there was a very difficult to reach bolt in the middle underneath it, securing it to tractor engine. Any advice how to best reach and loosen it? Couldn’t get a very good picture being outside in dark but it’s directly middle holding it on. 

I believe it is # 14 bracket bolts from Pfrederi”s diagram from a different post.

That bolt isn't that hard to access. You already have the hood open and the belt guard off, at that point it is practically out in the open.

 

Sight unseen I would suspect the real problem is your tooling.

Maybe it’s different bolt I’m thinking of.. this one had bracket blocking easy access to it.  But only looked at it quickly in the dark with phone flashlight. Will have to look better in daytime

All you need to remove is #14.  Goes through the Gen body then the mount then the gen body on the other side  The mount itself #13 stays on the engine
