Mighty-Mac shredder

[MalMac 1,328]

Anybody know the belt size the Mighty-Mac shredder uses? Or what the part # might be?

According to the manual for a 9-WH Mackissic Shredder Grinder. The Belt Part No. was 506-0003. On the Manual copy I have someone crossed out that # and wrote 030-0073.

I would call

FYI I just called MacKissic in PA. to check on the belt size for the 9-WH shredder/grinder that mounts on the front of a Wheel Horse tractor.

According to MacKissic's folks that looked up the belt sizes for me in their archives there are three possible belt sizes for the Might Mac Shredder.

The original number listed in the 9-WH manual (which is posted on Wheel Horse.org website) is 506-0003 (MacKissic's number) that is a 4L-780 (78 inches) size belt.

On the Wheel Horse.org manual that number is crossed out and replaced with a 030-0073 which would be a 4L-810 (81 inches) belt according to MacKissic.

The manual that MacKissic sent me in the mail for a 9-WH Shredder is dated 1977 and lists a 030-0126 belt number on their parts list and this would be a 4L-840 belt (or 84 inchs).

My guess is that different idler pulleys, different sized Wheel Horse PTO's may account for some of the differences in belt sizes but I wanted to post this to let folks know what I found out after calling on this.

I have one old belt for the shredder I recently bought that had only been used twice and I am going to use for the first time (hopefully) this weekend.

MacKissic Number Belt # / Regular Belt Size

506-0003 / 4L-780

030-0073 / 4L-810

030-0126 / 4L-840

These are all 1/2 wide 5/16th deep.
