L4400 seat belt

[aaluck]

I have a L4400 HST. This weekend the female side the seatbelt would not lock. Hit it with some PB and WD and still nothing. Took it apart and it looks pretty badly rusted and parts sticking. Called first thing this morning and they want like $150.00 for the entire seatbelt. I know, I know.... But come on. I just need the female side and it looks like any generic would work.

Has anyone ordered an after market for their tractor? If so, please tell me where.

I bought a B7500 a few years back. It suffered the same seat belt ill that you are describing. I bought a "seat belt extender" EBAY just a few dollars. I took the guts out of the female side and bolted on the extender. Works as good as new.

Had the same issue on L3200, purchased an alternative on eBay for little money, it fit and works well.

You need to buy a complete seatbelt assembly kit like this:

Just make sure the existing mount position will work with where the holes are on this new assembly, it was a 5 minute 2 bolt swap out for me on my L3200. Best of luck with sorting yours out.

Unfortunately I do not know exactly what one I purchased. I must have gotten lucky.

Got one a few years back at Northern Tool, #175201. It is an AmSafe 47", 800555XX.

I replaced some aircraft seat belts recently when we installed new interior. Many shops will GIVE away belts being replaced for no other reason than COLOR. (In fact, I sent a free set out to one of our co-participants here on the forums recently.... would have appreciated a “thank you” at least...)

Thanks to everyone. I ended up getting this...

Amazon.com

A word of caution for everyone (although I'm probably the only one that didn't know this)... I sent the first one back because it "didn't work". What I didn't realize is that these belts are not like your car belt that "grab" when you have force. These actually 'lock' when you finish pulling it out and latch them.
