Product Overview

The tensioner maintains consistent serpentine/accessory-belt force as the belt stretches and engine speed changes. A weak spring or rough pulley bearing can cause belt slip, squeal and accessory-drive problems.

John Deere's parts catalog lists RE518097-compatible tensioners on 9220, 9300, 9320, 9400, 9420, 9520, 9620 and many other 12.5L-era applications. Some later machines use different tensioner numbers, so verify before ordering.
