1996 MF 231 with aux hydraulic pump added on at the time of sale. This was my dad's tractor but he passed away 3 years after buying. I don't use much but the belt is starting to break apart.

I don't see anyway to replace the belt as the bottom pulley on the front of the engine looks like it was replaced with one that has a spindle going out the front of the tractor to the pump. I've had to replace part of the spindle and removing the pump is no big deal. However between the pulley on the engine and the part of the spindle I removed looks like it goes thru a hole in the frame with maybe enough space for a slice of paper to go thru. I have not been able to find a break down to see if I can remove the pulley or the proper way to replace the belt. Any help is greatly appreciated.
