If you have a baler belt clamp fail, why can't you just cut it off and install a new clamp?
My current belts are connected with Clipper Wire Hook terminations. Belts are 7" 3 ply diamond, 402" long (JD 375).
I have a couple with about 1" or so that has worn out and is no longer connected. The remainder of the 7" width is in very serviceable shape.
The actual part of the belt being currently used is 1/2" on each side for a total of 1" of belt length.
If I were to have a problem and just cut off the existing wire clips, prepare the surface and install a new clamp, I would only shorten the belt by 1". With a length of 400" that's only a length reduction of 0.25%. I'd bet the belt stretches more than that as it wears in.
So, question is, what's the big deal? Will it work?
