Sparky-(Admin) 19,284 #2 Posted February 10, 2013 It should work and fit fine. Is the belt routed correctly? Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJhorses 12 #4 Posted February 10, 2013 AS best I can tell the belt is routed correctly and I have the right size belt. Ive spent alot of time trying to puzzle this out. Belt is a 5/8 by 69 is this correct? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyBlade 0 #6 Posted December 15, 2013 Will that same belt fit the 310/8 with the same snowblower??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,284 #7 Posted December 16, 2013 Will that same belt fit the 310/8 with the same snowblower??? Yep, physically they are the exact same sized machines with the same distances from PTO to any attachments. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigboy63 1 #8 Posted December 16, 2013 I am having the same problem bought a used single stage no model # on blower but it came off of a c-160 tried to put on my 416-h used the same picture posted to compare routing . Barely touches the pto pulley out side edge than tried to put it on my 312-8 than picked up a toro 5/8 69 turns out same thing just abut touches the pto pulley ?

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 10,441 #9 Posted December 16, 2013 If you are standing on the right side looking at the sides of the idler pulleys that idler assembly must be rotated clockwise against the spring pressure a long ways to get the belt on. I use a bar or piece of wood to pry it around far enough to slip the belt on the flat idler last. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
