[QUOTE="BoilerMan, post: 20331, member: 2181"] Hello Everyone! This my first post and I thought I would share with you what happened this past weekend. My seat belt switch had been acting up for a couple of years. I had been making do by slamming the buckle together and hoping that the switch would make. Well about two weeks ago I wanted to put my snow bucket on and clear a little snow, about 8", from the drive. It was a fine Upstate New York morning clear and cold about 10 degrees F. I climbed into skidsteer and began slamming the buckle together after about 10 minutes of slamming I came to the conclusion that I needed a new seat belt switch. The following Monday I called the local equipment dealer and did a price and availability on a seat beat buckle for an New Holland LX565. They had one in stock and I cried all the way to the bank to get the price. I was told that I had to buy the entire assembly belt retractor and buckle. I finally got around to installing the parts this past weekend. (I learned that it was best to use a 3/8" breaker bar and socket to hold the nuts) After installing both new parts I sat in the seat buckled up and my problem was solved or so I thought. I wanted to connect my shoulder harness to the seat belt and discovered that there was no place on the new belt tang to make the connection. (My mistake in not noticing that at the store) The old belt tang fit the new buckle so out with the new and in with the old.
