WHX?? 46,693 #2 Posted January 22, 2020 I use the blue belts from TSC and do believe they are Huskee brand. No problems with them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moe1965 717 #3 Posted January 23, 2020 I'm running a blue belt as well with no issues. I just dont like how the color stands out I prefer a black belt I'm old school I guess. I dont like change. It's a German thing I guess🤣 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,844 #4 Posted January 23, 2020 Nothing wrong with Huskee belts or the green Napa ones and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,504 #5 Posted January 23, 2020 The blue Husky belts are my belt of choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris T 349 #6 Posted January 23, 2020 They work well in my opinion but only hold up for a year or two with regular use. At least that’s what I’ve experienced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,844 #7 Posted January 23, 2020 Heck I got 5 years on a Huskee belt on my C160 that I mow with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,035 #8 Posted January 23, 2020 colored belts are usually kevlar , made in india , have not had any issues with them , regularly check out pulleys and idler pulley for bearing issues and " thinning " or wear, making them prone to failure. pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,622 #9 Posted January 23, 2020 I use the huskee belts on everything I have with no trouble, EXCEPT one weird oddball Montgomery ward tractor that hated those. There are two 52" belts that run from the jackshaft to the transmission and that tractor would eat those belts up and tear the blue cover right off of them. I switched to black rubber belts and never had another issue with it. I would say that wasn't the belts fault though, it's just a weird little tractor.

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,256 #12 Posted January 25, 2020 I've got o Huskee belts on both my little round hood custom I'm building and on my 753, haven't had any issues with either of them. I also ran green napa belts on my 1277 for the drive and deck belts with no problems Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill D 1,596 #13 Posted January 28, 2020 Good belts, but I wish they had half sizes. I had to buy an OEM drive belt for my GT 1642. The clutch didn't work right with the Huskee belt. Bill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herder 2,354 #14 Posted January 28, 2020 I was at Tractor Supply recently looking for a belt and noticed that they only carry belts in full one inch increments' no fractional sizes. I was pissed. Had to go to two day Napa. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,332 #15 Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I am not thrilled with tractor supply. IMO im not sure they really cater to farmers at all but to the urban wanna bees . Rather go to the local co-op. Edited January 28, 2020 by The Tool Crib 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
