Case 450 alternate belt change

No tricks.
But if the hydraulic pump is bolted to the front of the engine crankshaft, the coupler to it has to be separated to get the belt through.
It is then a good time to check the wear on the pump input shaft spline.
Sometimes the splines are seized and pump has to be unbolted to separate the two parts.

Some people have saved quite a bit of time using a link belt and been bitten in the rear when they broke it and cooked the engine. They are a good fix to get it out of the bush into a shop in my opinion.
Good time to check out what Tinkerer posted.

Right, wasn't sure if he meant a straight 450 or just left the letter off. Sometimes people are lazy in their nomenclature.

I have a link belt on the wall, it’s for emergencies only.
Anyone that leaves on for a while is either lazy or has never had problems with one but they will.
When you’re a 1/4 mile out in the woods and it starts to heat up, because the link belt came undone or stretched too much and then they overheat the engine and crack a head and melt some rings and piston tops.
Been there, done that and my dad was furious. Was his tractor, not mine.
lol

Would be good to put a little anti-seize on the splines when you have it apart.
