P/S pump tesioning bolts missing. Source? 900

Strange. The long, 10MM bolt we use to tension the P/S pump and the litte one it threads into are missing. I guess the thing can be tensioned using a bar or somthing, but i would like to find a replacement. Any ideas?

Those bolts are expensive and weak.

Check the FAQ on how to adjust the belt.

When adjusting, I always made sure the other bolts were loose enough to allow adjustment without forcing them - the adjustment bolt is not up to that.

I always pried the component to the tightness I wanted and then tightened the other bolts and adjusted the adjustment bolt just enough to hold the component in place.

Two of the 740s that we owned did not have adjustment bolts when we bought them.

Good belts do not have to be really tight.

I used to replace the belts on my snow blower because of wet snow - I bought them at Auto Zone and paid $4 or so - About 6 years ago I got two top-of-the-line Gates belts at Fairgraves, a machine shop supply house - I have not replaced them since.

Never dealt with this site. But looks like what you need. Maybe be cheaper from a dealer if close by. They call it belt tensioner adjuster.
