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.
