Wheel Horse rear tiller belt size

Recommended Posts

I thought this was a OEM belt, not sure now, the belt seems to slip some. It could be rusty pulleys, its doing a little better since I adjusted the clutch rod

Its for a D160 Kohler K341. I thought I ordered this from using the IPL manual I have. I'll check again. This is the belt I ordered. https://www.ebay.com/itm/172131463261

So here's the deal, the OEM belt was 37.5" x 5/8", but you cant buy a belt in half increments, that I know of, so the service manual shows you can loosen the middle rear PTO pillow block shaft bearing, then you can adjust the front bearing to add or remove belt slack. Note: you always have to loosen the mid PTO shaft bearing or else it will put the shaft in a bind

Sounds like you're getting it figured out...

I've ran into fractional sizes before too, one of my drive belts calls for an 84.22" belt. 

Unless you're lucky enough to find a NOS :wh: belt with the original part #, ( and be willing to take out a second mortgage on your house to buy it ) they will all be in even number increments.
