eddiebunyan 24 #1 Posted October 25, 2013 I have a 73 18HP automatic that I am mounting a 6-7451 "48" snow blower on .Everything mounted fine till I got to the drive bel! It calls for a1/2"x53" belt(200170). The belt seems to be about 6" too long?? I used a string and it measured about 47". I can't get 6" of adjustment out of it! Pullies seem to be original and I verified the belt lenghth with the local Toro dealer. I'm also assuming that the position of the blower itself (up or down) would have no effect on belt lenghth. Has anyone else had this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eddiebunyan 24 #4 Posted November 4, 2013 A 1/2"x49" belt worked for me.Can't believe no one else has run into this problem!? ED Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin860 82 #5 Posted November 7, 2013 I just ran into this problem today. You say a half by 49 works? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,032 #6 Posted November 7, 2013 The 1/2" x 53" could be wrong. The only place the 200170 size is listed is at Stens and that is what I was using. Gates, Dayco and Goodyear don't recognize it and it is not in the Wheel Horse belt chart. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,032 #9 Posted November 7, 2013 That's good. The last time I checked Gates did not have it listed. Thanks. Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D200HORSE 0 #10 Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) i was on the hunt for a new belt for my d200 with the 48 in snowblower (6-7451). after researching this forum and purchasing several belts to test fit i found the 53 inch was way too big. i found 1/2 x 49 fits good and 5/8 x 51 fits good as well.
