Recommended Posts

Belt in photo is K Force brand A 102742 which is what my local parts place is pushing at 30 bucks plus.

This one was bought two seasons ago counting this mowing season and it’s not going to make it looks like..

Any info on better made belts appreciated..IMG_0328.jpeg.3c073cc52ba0f4bcb033ae50844e9002.jpeg

You could try a Gates or Napa 6378 made to replace the original 102742

@rustyedge1 bet ya dollars to donuts , its  lubrication  failure related , from that pto cone inner needle bearing , to every  related belt / pulley set up , pulleys are probably  rough , noisy , COMBINED  INCREMENTAL  LUBRICATION FAILURE  , CREATES  BELT BOUNCE / WHINE, STOPAGE ,  would also not  be surprised if the pto lever start  area is also hanging up , increasing initial function  drag . what does it sound like ?   buzzing , vibratition  , you need  more than belts , pete

      I am looking for the Wheel Horse part number for the Mule Drive belt on my 1984 C145A 11-14KE01. I believe it is 102742. The old one is stretched quite a bit and not sure the outside length. possibly 1/2 by 103 in? 48 inch mower. 
      Any help is appreciated!

      In search of a mule drive for a 60 inch deck for my 520. Located near central Pa or able to ship if possible. Also would be interested in trading parts for the mule drive if wanted.

      What’s the correct v-belt size for a xi drive belt connecting to a 60” deck?

      The belt on my Wheel Horse 314-8 mower deck (05-37SC01) appears to be contacting the deck bracket between the spindle pulleys. I am a novice when it comes to Wheel Horse maintenance (at best), but this does not seem correct.
       
      I recently inherited this Wheel Horse, so I do not know the maintenance history. Unfortunately, the mechanic who previously worked on it was a no-show for a scheduled maintenance visit.
       
      Any advice on how to address this? Thanks in advance... this seems like a great forum and I'm looking forward to spending time here!
