calehuff Posted May 31, 2000 Author Share Posted May 31, 2000 Hi I recently bought a used 816 AC with 48" mower and am having trouble finding a AC dealer near me. I need a new belt and the ref. number, but don't know where to find this info. I live in Williamsport, Pa. 17701 and my e-mail address is calehuff@mail.com I would appreciate any help you could send. Thank You Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted June 1, 2000 Share Posted June 1, 2000 I'm not sure if they are " simplicity " belts.I don't think simplicity makes their own belts...or do they?...I doubt it...for the price difference that i stated in my previous post i'm willing to try a Napa belt anytime.My feeling is that some dealers(not all) get into this "dealer item mentality" and think they can charge what they like....My suggestion to any one looking for a generic part and not a spicific part is...shop around you'll save yourself some money.I'm in the process of rehabing two simplicity's and the prices i get from different dealers for a varity of parts is amazing...my experiance to this point is ...the smaller the dealer the smaller the prices.. Good luck,Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted June 1, 2000 Share Posted June 1, 2000 Are these really "Simplicity" belts at NAPA or just heavy duty belts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tej Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 I have found that I can match any belt at my local Ace hardware store and they work just fine. I do buy OEM for the tractor drive belts, it's worth the money you pay. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2000 Share Posted June 2, 2000 If you can find them in the right size the green Gates Power Drive belts work fine and give years of service. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
