Lee1977 6,648 #6 Posted May 10, 2021 I have been buying OEM for years they have been good belts. Last year bought the blue kevlar belt from TSC for the mule drive belt on my 42" deck. Saturday I used it on my 48" deck as the one on it destroyed it's self. It was in bad shape cracked every two inches. I recently replaced the drive belt on my 1989 520-H with one also. It hasn't been on but a couple of weeks it's a 5/8" x 83" I'll have to see how well it holds up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #7 Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) have a blue kevlar belt on one tractor and it has worked well listing said 'Made in USA' - but this belt was made in India when at all possible - I use OEM Toro Wheel Horse belts ... 'true' OEM belts - molded / wrapped with Wheel Horse and model number stamped in the belt during the past few years I've had issues with 'OEM' belts that were lesser quality - made in Mexico with Wheel Horse printed in white on the belt ... they were slighty 'thinner' than the true old OEM belts one low quality 'OEM' belt - PTO drive belt - began to show wear almost immediately so I replaced it with a blue Kevlar belt that has worked well another low quality 'OEM' belt - mower deck belt - flopped around too much so I replaced it with the original 10-20 year old old better quality true OEM belt that I had just removed Edited May 10, 2021 by tom2p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
