Ifitaintbroke Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 Word of advice, use a Lawn and Garden belt, preferably a Kevlar one. Automotive ones are not designed to be used for a clutch, and other than a Corvair, aren't real good for multiple twists and turns. Bill That's what it had. I couldn't find a 92.5" so I'm going to try a 92 and a 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 That's what it had. I couldn't find a 92.5" so I'm going to try a 92 and a 93. I order a lot of mine from a company named V-belt supply. That is a Craftsman GT16 correct? I believe you said you have the manual for it. I have a cross reference from Sears PNs to belt sizes if it will help. It only took me 25 years to finally find the correct belt sizes for my GTV16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the manual saved somewhere but I'll have to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give me the Sears model number, I should be able to find the manual if I don't have a copy already. It should be a 917.XXXXX format.

What about an industrial belt from say Grainger? When I worked at the hospital all the fan units used industrial belts. They come in different V widths to fit the shives. The fan units could run 2 to 6 belts and any over 3 they were mat belts as even matched sets did not fit right. Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
