NJhorses 12 #1 Posted November 26, 2013 Has anyone put a 79361 blower on a 312 8 and what size belt works. Toro says 64.5 put a 64 5/8 on and it is too big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #2 Posted November 26, 2013 The width of the belt matters too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 21,077 #4 Posted November 26, 2013 Sounds like you have the right size belt...but is it all routed correctly? Heres a link to a snowblower belt on a 312. Mike.......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJhorses 12 #5 Posted November 26, 2013 I double checked the routing. Went to a smaller 64 inch belt knowing the original should be 21/32. This is the same tractor my single stage would not work on the belt hit the axle when lowered. it only has 83 hours but am wondering if something got changed.

Forest Road 594 #6 Posted November 30, 2013 I've had single stage and 2-stage blowers on my 314h w/ Magnum, 312-8 with Command & a 520h I briefly owned. I never recall having had an issue with belt rub on an exile. If you're saying that you had problems with belts from 2 different blowers on your 312 I'd have to assume you're doing something wrong. How about showing us some photos. Maybe we can help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJhorses 12 #7 Posted December 2, 2013 Feel totally stupid kept looking at the belt routing and doing it wrong again and again. 65 inch belt works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
