There's more to belts than cords 'n cost. Kevlar is an aramid, high end severe duty belts will have aramid cords and how do we know or not that OEM belts already have them and maybe Kevlar at that? Cords are just a building block, there's the rubber compounds, Vee profile, back side shape whether crowned or not. All of that goes into a belt on how much Hp it can transmit, how it lays in the sheave groove, etc. The rubber compounds and wraps are expensive building blocks for friction(grip), heat, flex, and Cub mule drives don't help with 1/4 turn pulleys. I've been through a whole box of OEM and after market belts, some new, that came with my Cub from the PO. The only ones holding up are the OEM belts, including some new ones I recently purchased. I suppose belts could be like race tires. Street or track tires can both get you across the finish line. Only the right ones matched to the track can keep you ahead of the pack, maybe safely.

i hated race nite sometimes.. if u went soft tryin for that 1 inch on the track.. the 1 more mph .. so on

yeah as i said in post i just did before this one.. iam goin to have to break down and find the money for it..
i had a belt for it.. it was spliting on the V but i moved and will we know what that meens...

just sucks there sooooooooo much money..... anyone need blood? i sell it cheap lol 30 a pint lol

i could change the pully on the gearbox.... i have a spare from the output side.. its about 1 inch smaller.. not sure what it would do for speeding up the tiller tho ..

 

[Ken Black]

got the 141 inch belt form tractor supply... 2 inchs short hahaa
so ordered the 143 from a local dealer but after market for 60 bucks. probley 10 more then it normaly is. they like to hit you with prices becuse they feel there the only game in town..
