squonk 41,321 #2 Posted April 17, 2021 How bout a picture of your new belt installed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #3 Posted April 17, 2021 The OEM belt is # 7478 and is 84" x 0.625 (5/8). Note that an aftermarket belt may or may not be of the same quality and/or geometery to precisely fit the contours of the 'V' pulleys. It should be routed like this...although your motion control lever may be different, depending on year of tractor. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cat man 137 #4 Posted April 17, 2021 i have it like in the pic but its like the belt needs to stritch very little bit when its running it makes it jump into the parking brake if you try to push it down to drive it you can hear a gear raking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,321 #7 Posted April 17, 2021 Check the number on the belt itself. Sometimes they get into the wrong package. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ranger 1,760 #11 Posted April 17, 2021 36 minutes ago, cat man said: this is what i have from royal king I think you have to be careful with vee belts, some are measured on the O/D as yours appears to be. Some are measured on the I/D, etc, so you could have say, 3 belts, all with the same described length, but depending where the measurements were taken, they could all be different fitted lengths. The chart I looked at, which is for ‘wrapped’ mower belts, shows the ‘840’ as equivalent ’ to a ‘B82’ and an ‘860’ equivalent to a ‘B84’. So your 84” O/D should perhaps be an 84” I/D or 84” p.c.d. Measurement? Doug. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,321 #12 Posted April 17, 2021 Wh7478 crosses to a Napa Gates 5L840W. We measured those belts at the store as 84" O.D. Measure your belt wiyh a tape measure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,762 #14 Posted April 17, 2021 Put the belt cover on... The cover has a 'guide' on the backside to keep the belt from dropping too low...which releases it from the engine pulley to prevent 'slight' engagement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
