Bill,

The advice given on this site is to use Simplicity belts anytime the belt bends backwards. In general that means the snowblower belt and the PTO belt to the deck.

You should be okay to use any belt for the drive belt.

Use an A-91 belt if you get anything from NAPA. That's as close as you will get to a factory belt. It is 1/2 X 93 inches long.

Just curious, Bob, why would the belt # be 91 and the length 93"? Seems a strange way for them to number their belts?

id="quote">Brett, it has been that way for as long as I can remember and before that. All industrial belt people use the same numbering system.

An "A" type belt is measured by the ID. A 4L type belt is measured by the OD. There is always a 2 inch difference - as I understand it.

The A series belts NAPA sells are not rated for a backside idler, but are rated for 17HP.

The 4LxxxW series belts at NAPA are rated for 17HP and a backside idler.

I have used the 4LxxxW belts with great sucess in all tractor applications.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
