gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,041 #3 Posted August 15, 2022 OEM means original equipment manufacturer. Toro or a Toro dealer is the only source for Wheel Horse/Toro OEM parts. Have a local Toro dealer? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My local Toro Dealer no longer sells Toro products, but other brands of outdoor equipment. He still can get OEM parts, but passes the shipping cost onto me - that $40 belt now becomes $50....

953 nut 55,223 #8 Posted August 15, 2022 That is why many of us have gone to the Kevlar belts from Tractor Supply. Get an 82" X 5/'8" for abut $ 20 and they work fine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,104 #9 Posted August 15, 2022 You do not need OEM belts. I run Napa and TSC belts for over 20 years now with no issues. The only belt I ever had a problem with was an OEM belt on a 704. 7473 is a Napa 5L820W or a TSC 5L820 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
