clueless 2,906 #1 Posted January 13, 2019 Going to change the drive belt on my '77 C160 auto, part # is 7478. I want the genuine Wheel Horse (Toro) belt. The one on amazon says it's genuine, anyone know for sure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,173 #2 Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I have seen some that have the WH# embossed into the outside of the belt. Others are just printed. RCPW sells real ones and Stens knockoffs I didn't see any real ones on EBAY. All the Amazon said currently unavailable what one did you see??? Besides if they are $11 they are not real WH belts. For hydros i use Gates Power rated green belts with no problems..I do prefer WH for 8 speeds Edited January 13, 2019 by pfrederi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,037 #3 Posted January 13, 2019 I've had a green Gates Napa belt on my C-160 hydro for over 8 years. 5L840W. About 50 bucks. In fact I have aftermarket Napa Green or TSC Blue on everything I own with no problems at all. I don't really see the attraction of OEM unless it's a special length. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,349 #4 Posted January 14, 2019 I'll put in another vote here for the Gates green. I can't comment on the durability of the TSC belts but I tried to use one on the 1267 and it measured too wide and hence did not work. I've had a stens belt that I got from A - Z Maybe two or more years ago? On the Patriot horse and that looks just as good now as it did when it was new.
