Wheel Horse 1045 Generator Starter Belt

["Manic-Mechanic" 1,266]

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.

 

Regards,

Oldman

S/G is a low tension belt.

Extreme quality shouldn't be a huge concern.

I've had great luck with the Napa Gates.

I was leaning that direction at one third the price it's worth a try. So, that is the correct length then, cool.

 

Thanks

Bring the old belt to the store if you can.

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.

Some times we get lucky and some times we don't.

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.

For a 10 HP and above S/G equipped Kohler engine the NAPA 25-7345 belt works well.
