gipster 1 #1 Posted July 9, 2011 Hi, New to the forum and looking for info on getting my 1983 c-175 8 speed moving again. The drive belt from the engine to the transaxle is broken and needs to be replaced. Can anyone point me to a resource with instructions? it looks like the whole side of the tractor has to come off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

can whlvr 994 #3 Posted July 10, 2011 its not too bad too install a drive belt,the belt number is probally 7473,i went to www.partstree.com,a great place to get pictures and part numbers,but it lists 93- 9809 but thats for a hydro,you said 8 speed,for all the 8 speed tractors of that era 7473 is the toro number,but please check with your toro dealer if someone else here doesnt chime in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,512 #4 Posted July 11, 2011 It is hard to find the listing for the correct drive belt for the model 11-17K801 1983 C-175 Twin 8-speed as was recently discussed. The final outcome was the belt is Wheel Horse 107939 replaced by Toro 93-9809 (HBx83.5") This was eventually verified in an original parts list. The 1983 C-175 Twin Auto uses Toro 108502 (HB/5Lx83") Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
