Where can I find a good new drive belt for my wheel horse? I cant seem to find any online or anywhere else. I figured I would run it by you guys and see what surfaces.

Take your old one to Tractor Supply and have them match it up to a new Kevlar belt.

Toro dealer. Replace it with an original belt. They do make a difference if you plan on pulling anything with it.

I have had 0 issues with TSC and Napa Kevlar belts for 30 yrs. doing any job asked of the tractor. Drive,mower, blower it doesn't matter. Just make sure you get the proper width as well as length.

TSC belts aren't what they use to be then. I had 3 go on my 48" deck mowing this season. I will be sticking to the factory belt.

Got to agree on the mower drive, haven't had the best results with Kevlar there ( one year and need replacement), but for drive belts to the transmission I have been very pleased with Kevlar.

I have 5 yrs on my Napa green PTO belt. Probably will install a new one next year. The only :wh: OEM belt I have in the fleet is the belt that came on my snow blower.

Spinning your wheels is no problem. If your wheels had enough traction to never spin then the next weakest link would rear its ugly head and brake so a lack of traction is sort of a safety valve.

      OME 417-8 drive belt needed
      By rustyedge1
      The local place I’ve bought parts from for years has changed owners, now they can’t even spell Wheel Horse let alone be if any help.
      Doing my spring tune up I noticed my drive belt is getting pretty ratty. Due to all I’ve read thought I’d ask for some advise on getting it right the first time on a new belt.
      Is there still dealers on this site selling OME stuff ? I know there are tons of aftermarket crap but not looking for that.
      Thank in advance.

      C81 Mower Drive V Belt
      By Rob R
      Hi Guys my C81 has a 38 dual blade, side discharge mower deck (# 0537SC01) The deck belt also goes around the mandrels through the mule drive and also to the PTO so it's a huge belt. The current belt is stretched and ready to go. I believe it is around 1/2 X 142 inches but not sure was hoping one of you might have the correct size. Much appreciated. Rob

      Look what I found at Lowe's
      By Bill D
      Found these at Lowe's.  Same belts as TSC, just different packaging.  The 86" I got was on clearance and is not being stocked anymore.  They had sizes from 87" to 109" in 1/2".  Not a lot of 5/8" belts that would be useful for our tractors.

      42 inch rear discharge belt sizes?
      By Ifixoldjunk
      I just bought a deck for my 310-8, it’s a 42inch rear discharge, it came with a complete parts tractor, but I need new belts for it. Does anyone know what size belts I need?

      C125 PTO Drive Belt for 42in Mower Deck
      By Tim Fenn
      I've just acquired a renovated C125 but unfortunately the drive belt got snagged with the mower deck belt (maybe because of incorrect fitment?). It looks like I'm on a steep learning curve! I've been trying to find out which belt to buy as a replacement. The belt I've just taken off is 94 inches but  according to the parts manual I need a Toro belt part number 94 2501 which is 103 inches? The mower deck is a 42in rear eject. It's funny that the Toro belt has 94 2501 as the part number but is 103 inches & I apparently need a 94in belt? Any ideas?
