Thanks Bill - much appreciated. However, the female section of the connector is mounted in a casting on the rear of the tractor. The only accessible part is the outer face of the fitting.

locate mounting bolts, make sure you have right tool (some are mounted by "tork"-bolts female star-bolts that not every tool kit contains)...and start wrenching, I guess...unless there is some trick to removing seat belts on modern fandangle cars...rear seat squab may have to be undone to access rear seatbelt stalks..

Check out a site run by Carpenter. They have the parts. Most mount to holes cast in the block and trans housing.
