Help me find my mystery belt


Recommended Posts

Matthew,

A 36" belt with the same angle and cross section as the 7381 will be part # 7359 in the Gates catalog.

ETA: #7363 is 36.5"

HTH

Perfect, thank you!

Now, can you tell me how you figured that out? :nabble_smiley_happy:

EDIT: I see you told me that up above. Again, thank you.

I guessed that 7381 had to be the belt you got from NAPA.

The other was much too short.

So I checked the cross section and noted H25.

From there it was easy to drill down with their filters

All of the auto parts stores I have worked at have had the belt measuring stick. Problem is, nobody knows how to use them, and you can't be sure they've used it correctly. I used to take the sticks to the front of the store and measure the belt in front of the customer, that way they can verify their own size and pick the belt they need. The size was usually in the part number, so finding belts wasn't too difficult if you knew the size and style you needed.
