Mike C160 251 #1 Posted June 3, 2022 Greetings. Well, I had asked what drive belt to put on my 1977 C160. I was told to check the parts manual. But I couldnt find a 1977. I was told a 76 would be fine. That I found And the drive belt pt number was 7478 which is 84 x 5/8ths. However its too big. Its too long and 5/8ths seems also too big. Does anyone know what the correct belt for this unit is? I would appreciate. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,714 #4 Posted June 3, 2022 Belt is 7478 which is 5/8 x 84" Check the belt to make sure it has the right # on it and also measure it. Mistakes do happen. Can you post a picture of the belt on the tractor so we can see what's going on? https://www.partstree.com/models/71-16ks02-c-160-toro-lawn-tractor-1977/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 43,714 #6 Posted June 3, 2022 You want a 5L840. Do not use a B belt. If you have a Napa near by get a 5L840W 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike C160 251 #8 Posted June 3, 2022 @squonk Well, the new idler pulley is on All dressed up and no belt to go. I got the lift cable and rocker shaft to install along with an oil and filter for the rear end. I suppose I'll quit my whining and get back to work.

Im kind of remote so our napa is small and likely wont have this in stock Im a little let down right now. I just drained the oil from the rear end and small pieces of bearing cages came out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike C160 251 #11 Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) @squonk Any idea where this could be from? Differential? Or hydro unit? Common place failure? It runs and drives fine..... Cheers Edited June 3, 2022 by Mike C160 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
