Sam Pasch 449 #27 Posted March 31, 2020 2 hours ago, ZXT said: I'm cheap, so I use cheap belts. One brand I have found on eBay and Amazon is D&D Powerdrive. I've put their belts on 6 machines (not all WH) and have some that are at least 4 years old now, and get mowed with nearly weekly during the summer. No failures yet. I've used their belts. They seem to work just fine. My wheel horse has a belt from the local FS. Not sure what brand it is but it work fine for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klink 20 #29 Posted March 31, 2020 I just replaced the drive belt on my Wheel Horse C-101 8 speed. I thought I would be smart and order a belt online ahead of time. Well after much confusion on which belt to order, I ordered a Toro/Wheel Horse 106496 V-Belt, which is advertised as a 5/8" X 85". Well guess what when I took the old belt off and measured it, it was a 82" long belt. So I ended up going to an old Wheel Horse dealer ( Parke's Power Equipment, 9801 State Route 103, Jenera, Ohio 45841 USA ) and getting the correct belt, a WH part # 7473 which is a 82" belt. It worked perfect. So moral of the story is measure belt first. The only numbers on the belt were WH 7473. I don't know which Wheel Horse gear drive tractor takes a Toro/Wheel Horse 106496 V-Belt, but its not a C-101. Klink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunahead72 2,467 #32 Posted March 31, 2020 My humble advice, when in doubt, find and use the parts manual to find the correct part number for your application. Garry @gwest_ca has done an excellent job of finding and organizing manuals for our tractors and their attachments, there's a huge amount of information in them, go here and look around: https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/files/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
