The video wraps with a DIY rear weight setup to counter front nose-dip. Best for M5-091 owners doing their own upkeep.
Posted by the Lampley Brothers Farming channel, which appears to be a working farm operation sharing practical, hands-on maintenance and farm tasks from their own equipment.
The manufacturer recommends checking and draining it every 90 days, which the owner does even when the DEF still smells fine.
Loosen the pivot or mounting bolt at the bottom, then loosen the tension bolt on the pulley, push the alternator over, and the belt comes off.
The AC belt sits behind the alternator belt, so it has to come off anyway, making it worthwhile to replace both at once.
The owner built a rear three-point hitch weight bracket holding about 600 pounds of weights to keep the back down and counter nose-dip.
