Hi
I have a Dixon ZTR RAM44 MAG.
Somehow a stick got tangled in the works and damaged the fan on top of the left hand transmision.

I removed a black slotted plate to get access to the top of the transmision and removed 3 screws from inside the fan.

There is also a nut in the centre of the fan. Does this have to come off as well? It is very tight and has so far resisted my attempts to get it loose.

Thanks for any advice.

Edit...Supplementary questions: The vee belt which follows a Tee shaped path to take engine power to the two transmission units seems quite loose. Is this normal? Also, how is this belt replaced? Is it necessary to remove the PTO clutch mechanism?
