when i don't use wheel horse brand i use gates green belts i was told that the black automotive belts don't hold up very well when being ran on the flat side of the belt but the green ones are more flexible and this has proven to be true i've used both and the black ones cracked out after very little use  

I'm just talking about the gates high power 2 black belts didn't want anyone to think i meant all black belts are bad

Glenn while you were on ebay did you check for any Toro belts? I have bought quite a few of brand new toro belts off of ebay now. I have dealt with seller majestichardware quite a few times they seem to always have the belts ive been looking for along with the best price and their service has always been great.

The local used to be wheel horse dealer can still get parts but mainly sources aftermarket stuff through stens. I got a few of the stens belts from them also and they have worked just fine but I haven't had any of my belts nearly long enough to tell if they compare longevity wise. Those belts are about the same money of the Toro ones I find on ebay so I stick to buying the oem Toro belts now.

I'm with Dennis,  I have had good luck with TSC's Blue Kelvar belts made by Pix.  They are holding up well on my decks and blowers.

Ok glad to hear your aware of Majestic theyre one of the first places I check for stuff now. The oem belts are for sure pricy and considering your just adding it to your backup supply I see why you wanted to save some dough. 
Havent thought much about my snow gear yet expanding my garage is on the horizon at the moment, going from 24x20 now to 24x40. I have a mustang, 4 running wheel horses plus lots of attachments and parts, 2 snowmobiles, and all my other crap so saying im in need for more room is and understatement. Once that's complete I will go through everything and get myself ready. Need to be ready before the month of November as im sure you remember last year. I also picked up a plow for this year and an actual wheel horse tall chute from Cutlas(Shawn). Im still going to keep the chute I made and hopefully do some side by side comparisons. I also will be running the blower with a 417 this year as compared to the 312 I had last year so hopefully ill be able to chuck that snow even further!!  Another year anything like last ill be able to test all of my equipment many times over.

I'm working on it Glenn,  I just got the frame and body prepped and painted.  The mechanicals are all rebuilt.  A few smaller parts to prep and paint and then it goes back together.  I'll have to post some pics.  I better hurry up, winter is coming and I still have the cab to work on.
