This will solve your problem. Vibration Free Link Belt It's better than a regular belt.

I don't understand. After loosening the pivot bolt on the alternator, the belt should come loose from both pulleys. At that point you should be able to simply slip the belt over the fan blades. Depending upon how small the belt is, you might have to do it one blade at a time. But that's how it was put on there in the first place.

I wholeheartedly agree. It will be the last belt I bought. I even put one on the Mustang skid steer.

I am with Greg. It will go, you just have to hold your tongue right.

I' m alongside Greg, just be sure to watch for bending the rad. fins when pulling belt past the fan tips. Some equipment is very easy to slide the belt past, bending fins on the Rad. causes several other problems later. Jy.

Just one of the sweet benefits of the linked belt that you gentlemen are fighting about - no need to risk damaging your radiator and skinning your knuckles. The linked belt is not new. Been in industry for many years.

You did not say what tractor?

Best way I have found is measure the width of the pulley then wrap a piece of string around as the belt would go and tie it off. Remove and now you have a templet to take with you.

Is it an "A" or "B" section belt?
What is your tractor and engine model?

His profile lists a 2003 FarmPro 2420, but no engine specs. Maybe TY290?

Hey Kroger,
Get a Lin-Belt.The old belt want go between the crankshat pully and the frame.The Farmpro2420 has got the be the worst design in the world just to change a fan belt.There is no room to do anything.All you need was maybe 1/2 inch more room but no.
The link belt is the answer.

I have never had my hands on one of those belts, but some of you have. The site said that a person could easily make matched sets of belts. Do you guys get the impression that the belts would indeed be well matched if the same number of links are used per belt?

I have them on my equipment, and have experience with them in an industrial setting. You can match sets with approximately 1/64" tolerance.
They have been around a long time and are very widely known.
