Never have what I need

[pfrederi 20,468]

I am a bit of a pack rat and rarely throw anything away.  I have accumulated a decent collection of belts.  Figured I would have a 72 inch so i could test the hydro on the 875 junker I got.  I have 69.5   71  73 and 74 no 72.

 

She came with a dead B&S 10hp.  So I got out an M8  I have had and got it installed enough to test but no belt.  Engine hasn't been used in a few years fired up and runs pretty well.  If the hydro works have to decide if I make it permanent.  The front end need work Axle pivot is wobbly and the steering shaft flops around,  Never realized back then WH did not put a bearing on the front end of the steering shaft.

I might have a 72 here that used to be on one of Trina's but you can almost definitely get one faster 😉

How long did it take you to find out no 72" here??  I have a mess of belts like that from my Dad...never the one I need.

Did you mark the unmarked belts to make your next search go quicker?

wished I would have seen this post or thought of it myself . just went through a few the other day and guess what just threw all back in a tub and didnt even think about marking them, rookie mistake on my part . Just been doing this for 30 yrs +....
