Abstract: In a baler having a series of belt rollers that are supported by upright panels in a way to present normally uninterrupted, continuous spans across and between the panels, a set of endless belts may be installed on the machine, notwithstanding the presence of the panels at opposite ends of the rollers, by temporarily interrupting each span and slipping the new belts through the interruption. Clearances for belt replacement are presented by removing spacers from the rollers. The spacers are disposed between the proximate ends of roller sections, each pair of sections having a releasable coupling provided with parts which receive the spacers therebetween. The clearances so presented are preferably quite narrow, sufficient only that the belts may be passed through the clearances in an edgewise direction.
