sawyer 0 #1 Posted March 4, 2009 hello my wheel horse charger 12 needs a new belt. the one thats on it is wrong size or too loose. you have to hold down the parking brake lever to put tension on it to work. my question is what is the correct size belt and numbers of it. possibly a gates belt from o'reiley's. that would be the easiest place to get one. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #2 Posted March 4, 2009 The WH # should be 7478 which is a 5/8" X 84" belt. The Gates equivalent is # 6984. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kj4kicks 151 #3 Posted March 4, 2009 Also, don't forget to check the tension spring while you're in there. I would stay with an OEM belt, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #4 Posted March 4, 2009 I had one that acted like this and the root cause was the idler was frozen. IN any case, check the idler while you have it apart. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
