Hey guys, I joined about 4 years ago while looking for my first machine, bought it, love it, now need to fix it!! I noticed the belt was missing a few teeth on the inside and was cracking pretty badly, the other night it started squealing (-35 dgrees C feeding a round bale). I pulled it in the shop to thaw out, changed the oil, filter and fuel filter, loosened off the alternator and that's when I finally realized I would have to take off the other belt to get the this one off! I'm not a mechaninc, but I can run a wrench, I'm just a little uncofortable when it comes to the right tension to put on these belts once they're replaced. Especially when you're reaching in there up to your armpits and can see!! Any advice on how to tackle this job? Or is it better left to a HD mechanic? Thanks in advance.
