3416 H Belt Help

[Horvik 31]

Howdy,

Does anyone have know where I can get the 48" deck belt for my 3416 H?

Al Edens forgot more than most folks remember!

Thanks

Is that the standard 48' mower for that particular model?

BLT,

I believe that is the standard original mower, yep.

Here is a Made When where you can get the mower number, download an operator/parts bulletin and have it for reference.

The deck belt (arbor belt) is a 4L860 or a 1/2" wide belt by 86" long.

I use Fleet Farm belts, and the tractor I use the most for mowing, the belt is at least 10 years old. And I am mowing over 2 acres.

I have found that belt life is more dependent on storage than operating. In the fall I always release the belt tension remove the belts and hang them up.

Every old tractor that I have picked has the deck belt still in tension, even though these belts looks like new, none will make more than a couple of mowings most will only hold up for a few minutes.

Mikees;

Thanks for the reply and certainly do appreciate your good help.

Hard to get good advice/help since Al Edens has gone on.

Thanks
