TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #4 Posted February 16, 2014 Is this a hydro or stick shift ? It has to be an automatic. I have never figured out why, but there was no 1973 16 / 8 speed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #5 Posted February 16, 2014 I have a Tractor Supply store just a few minutes away. Been using the Huskee Kevlar® belts, inexpensive, on the shelf, stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #6 Posted February 16, 2014 Never knew that about the 73 16hp, I'll try to keep that in mind. And after market belts seem to work for hydros, but Iike a factory belt for the stick shift models, the clutch seems to work smoother Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
