squonk 42,815 #1 Posted November 15, 2017 I keep hearing " You have to use genuine WH belts. HORSE HOCKEY! I was taking my deck of my 520 for the winter and found a chunk of wood stuck down in the PTO pulley groove. I had to use a small chisel and a hammer to get it out. No telling how long it was there. My 2 yr. old Napa green belt was unfazed! 8 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishin4a416 2,191 #3 Posted November 16, 2017 I run Tractor supply belts with no problems so far. I do try to get OE for the drive belt though. "Colonel Potter." 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 50,906 #5 Posted November 16, 2017 I'm with Jack on this one. I love TSC belts. The only problem I have with them Is every time I go to TSC to get one they have every size but the one I'm after! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 42,815 #6 Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) I'm hooked in online direct to my local Napa (where In used to work) and can check inventory. If the one I need is out of stock I can have it the same day if I call before 11 AM. Edited November 18, 2017 by squonk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,520 #7 Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Been using Huskee Kevlar (green) belts. Most always on the shelf at TSC. Never had one fail. Great belts and inexpensive. Green belts? Green belts indicate oil resistant. Label the belt sleeves; i.e.: 416-8 Drive, 48" Deck. Staple gun the sleeve on the shop wall.
