MULE DRIVE BELT SIZE

Recommended Posts

SAM58

Recently I was mowing here at the office on a saturday and my 520H w/ 48" SD deck. We have had lots of rain and I think it has been raining miracle grow.

Grass was real thick and wet close to the ground. Needless to say it took out my A-100 mule drive belt. I did not have an extra one but we sell B series belts here at the store and I had some in stock.

So I put a B-100 on it to finish the grass and it worked great! :woohoo:

I have left it on there and cannot see any problems with the wider belt.

The A series is 1/2" wide and the B series is 5/8" wide. It doesn't set as deep in the pulley as the A series but is working fine.

Also I notice the the 60" deck that I had came with a B-128 on the deck to drive the spindles, but the mule drive belt is a A-100.

Anyone else tried different series belts on theirs? :D

Do you see any problems that it might cause in the future??? :ROTF:

On my C-series WH's with 48" SD decks, "B" belts are not successful; they are

thrown off frequently whereas "A" kevlars are not. These "A"s have been really

long lasting. Just my experience.
