C-145 A drive belt size?

Recommended Posts

Road-Track

I blew a drive belt on my 1983 C-145 hydro and the belt measured 82". I looked up the correct belt and have seen many different sizes called out.

 

Is 5/8" x 81" correct?

Is 5/8" x 81.5" correct?

or

Is 5/8" x 82" correct?

 

I also saw 98" using the same wheelhorse number????

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks!

I see what you mean about different sizes, especially through the years.  After looking at Gerry's notes though, plus I found one chart that went along with Gerry's notes also...1983, C-145 auto, 01-14KE04.  I would try the #108501 belt...5/8" x 81.50.  :)

I have a 1983 C-145 auto, 01-14KE04 and I am running a 5/8" x 81" belt and it seems to work just fine.  Hope this helps...

This pertains to the Sundstrand models

The 7478 drive belt is 5/8" x 84.22".

They had a problem at one time with this belt being too short on 1977 and prior models but has since been corrected.

Adding

The difference for the Eaton models is the twin cylinder models use a different belt than the single cylinder models but the shared parts lists don't tell us what uses what.

1980 was the year they used both Eaton and Sundstrand hydros.

 

The 1983 C-Series drive belts have been added to this page

Thanks!

    I went with a 108501 WH belt:wh:. I believe the one manual I found on RS said they were 81.5 inches.

 While you are changing the thing, check your idler pulley shaft where it goes through the frame of the tractor close to the pulley.. Adding oil at the bushings helps prevent wear. Mine wore through at the bushing[if there ever was one], and i had to rebuild it.  When the bushing area gets worn, the transmission drive belt vibrates causing it to wear. Instead of just rotating on an axis, the idler pulley looked like a paint shaker.

 

 The idler pulley on my 520 operates with a spring. i have a 416-8 that operates with a piston shock absorber and that would be a better system to cut the vibration.

 

Happy trails.

      My double pulley deck drive spindle seized up and shredded the shaft. 
       
      Looking for a replacement assembly. 
      My rig is 310-8, 1986ish. 
       
      The deck is 36" rear discharge. Similar vintage but has no identifying tags. 
       
      The drive spindle on this one is front and center, not the older version with the tall spindle near the back.

      Not sure on specific model. This 8 spd came attached to a plow I bought. It had some water in it for a couple weeks according to the prior owner. I drained it, sloshed some diesel in it, drained that, then filled with fresh oil. Spinning the input shaft by hand, I can see the axels turn. Hasn't leaked any oil. I'm not really interested in shipping, so I'd prefer local sales.

      What’s the correct v-belt size for a xi drive belt connecting to a 60” deck?

      Hey guys,I have a dilemma I need some help with. I have a 1969 GT 14 that I replaced the transmission and pump on. For about 2 weeks afterward everything worked great, but while mowing at a pretty good pace I noticed a shudder and the tractor slowed a little but not bad. The more I rode it the slower it got until it barely moves. What stumps me is the hydraulics are still very strong,as in I can back the 3 point under the bumper of my truck and if you lift the arms all the way up the front wheels of the tractor will clear the ground. Have checked the tow valve and checked the internal filter,but no luck. I have also checked and replaced the forward and reverse bypass springs and the lever is moving the cam to full travel, forward and reverse. Any help would be appreciated.

      I have developed a kit that allows a Wheel Horse / Toro hydrostatic tractor to be operated by a pedal on the right side of the tractor. The original forward/reverse lever can be retained or removed. The kit includes everything needed to install the pedal kit and installation is simple with the help of a downloadable installation manual. Additionally, only one (1) 1/4" hole will need to be drilled which can be done by a hand drill. No other drilling or cutting will be necessary. Any tractor with this kit can be converted back to stock without any visible evidence that kit was installed. However, you'll never want to do that

      The kit operates very simply and similar to modern tractors. When the pedal is pushed forwards the tractor will move forwards. When the reverse pedal is pressed downwards, the tractor will moved in reverse. If the operator takes his foot of the pedal at any time, the pedal will automatically center itself and the hydrostatic transmission will return to neutral (stop). This enables the operator to use both hands on the steering wheel or one hand on the wheel and the other operating an attachment like a snow blower, plow, etc.

      The foot pedal is custom cast in Aluminum, uses brass bushings to minimize wear, and it closely matches the OEM Wheel Horse BRAKE pedal commonly found on 8-speed manual transmission tractors. Modifications were done to the pedal to add the reverse pedal and adapt the pedal to the rest of the kit. For the most part, the pedal looks like it was designed and manufactured by Wheel Horse / Toro. Additionally, a grease fitting has been adapted to the pedal to further minimize wear and tear and if the brass bushings ever wear out they are fully replaceable without having to buy a whole new pedal. 

      The pedal kit fits the following series tractors with Eaton hydrostatic transmissions: C-1X5, 300, 400, 500. 
       
      My kit can be adapted to older hydrostatic tractors with the Sundstrand transmission, however, you will need to find an updated hydro cam commonly found on ebay. Message me for more information. 
       
      Here is a link where you can download the installation manual: CLICK HERE
       
      I am selling these kits for $330 shipped to anywhere in the United States. I offer multi order discounts as well. I will also sell to other countries for additional shipping charges to be determined.
       
      If anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me or post your question here and I will be glad to help. Or you can email me at mattdarling02@hotmail.com.

      Thanks!
       
       
      Below are pictures of the complete kit and the pedal installed on the tractor. Some modifications have been made since these pictures were taken. For example, the reverse pedal is now cast in aluminum instead of the steel pedal shown below.
