Cee245 853 #1 Posted April 7 (edited) My sil has a model 73401 1994 314H with a model 78345 42" SD deck. I am looking for the pto to deck belt. Part #: 94-2501 according to toro.com In looking on toro.com it's showing that a 52" SD v belt on their site. The 2 pictures are the same page, just had to scroll on my phone to get it all... Anyone know a site to order from with confidence im getting correct belt at reasonable price. Id like oem if possible.

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 12,167 #2 Posted April 7 94-2501 is the correct drive belt. The same belt is used as a spindle belt on the 52" deck for the 5xi models. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,854 #4 Posted April 7 @Cee245 often refer to this on belt driven anything , any belt FRAYING ? how do all / any pulleys look , move , sound ? its the COLLECTIVE DRAG THAT IS SHOWING YOU THE WAY , incremental bearing lubrication failure , causes belt bounce and stiff / rough action . those 6203 mule drive bearings are very easy to clean out and re lubricate , wide rubber side seals , are what I always want in a bearing , that drive set up is a GOLD MINE / FOR IMPROVEMENTS . battery tray , start point , for lever , and on , picture problems , pete 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brockport Bill 2,282 #5 Posted April 7 i have used oem belts frequently - but also sourced to Tractor Supply or Amazon and bought off brand/after market belts - generally less $$ - never really made a log of belt life or durability comparisons of OEM versus after market 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 2,782 #6 Posted April 8 I get my belts at TSC and Lowe's. Lowe's doesn't stock the 86" belt for some reason, but they do have the other sizes. They seem to hold up okay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,854 #7 Posted April 8 @Cee245 thanks for the reply , those T/S belts are showing zero wear on all my units , as stated , pulley bearing LUBRICATION FAILURE IS THE ISSUE . you can easily do a trial / test on any wide rubber side shield bearing , for your own direction . those 6203 , bearings with a thorough clean out / flush , and lucas XTRA ,HD GREEN CHASSIS GREASE , far exceeds original lube , have it in all my rotational areas , also added idler belt pulley , on back side of , mower deck unsupported long return , experimented with that , have it on all my decks . no belt bounce . always after operational , function , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
