thehorse 221 #1 Posted February 5, 2014 Hi all.... Blowing some icy, slushy, snow with the 314-8 today. Blower is older single stage with the wings to make it a 42in. I noticed some belt shredding but was able to finish 5 driveways. Probably due to the spring tension on the idler pullies not enough since mine broke Monday and the replacement is not strong enough. So the question is......what size belt do I need And does anyone have info. On getting a proper spring. Napa maybe? Snows coming again Saturday and want to be ready. Thanks, Le Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJhorses 12 #2 Posted February 5, 2014 I got my belts at Tractor Supply. If i remember right it is a 5/8x 69. Does your belt hit the axle when the blower is lowered? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
