"Manic-Mechanic" 1,266 #1 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) I had the belt shred on me today! Sounded like mowing gravel! No mower deck so.......Then I seen the warning light and "viola", shredded v-belt! Now Gates & Napa have 7315, 23-7315. (.41 x 32.08 36 degree) However, Kohler has 235262-S (with no specs given.) However, this one appears to be superior quality at three times the price. I would like to use the best of the three and would appreciate any suggestions.

ebinmaine 72,728 #2 Posted July 13, 2019 S/G is a low tension belt. Extreme quality shouldn't be a huge concern. I've had great luck with the Napa Gates. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"Manic-Mechanic" 1,266 #3 Posted July 13, 2019 I was leaning that direction at one third the price it's worth a try. So, that is the correct length then, cool. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 72,728 #4 Posted July 13, 2019 Bring the old belt to the store if you can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
"Manic-Mechanic" 1,266 #5 Posted July 13, 2019 The old belt just about disintegrated! Lol I think it was the 3/8th's used on the 8hp, it lasted 10 yrs! I found a beautiful high performance 1/2 cogged belt hanging on my wall. Napa Modac 69H(25-09155) It fit right on without even having to move the tension, rolled onto the pulley "happy & tight", Yard Sale .50, amazing. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Manic-Mechanic" 1,266 #7 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) that'll never happen twice! It was a N.O.S. belt long discontinued, found another one should grab it up! Napa 25-09155 Accessory Drive Belt 9360 Figures it would end up a belt I never even thought of! 10.53 total. Not .50 but I'll take it.

953 nut 60,083 #8 Posted July 13, 2019 For a 10 HP and above S/G equipped Kohler engine the NAPA 25-7345 belt works well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
