macallis180 296 Posted March 27, 2016 Does anyone know belt length on this belt? Guess my old age prevents me from reading the NAPA to AC/Simplicty belt guide on our website! Best info I could find so far is part # 2168171sm, but I don't have a cross reference yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 2,015 Posted March 28, 2016 I have been using a 1/2 x 44" belt with the half twist and a 1/2 x 35" from the BGB to the PTO. You need a Kevlar belt for the twisted belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macallis180 296 Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks, Chris. I remember quite a few years ago when I needed a belt for a twist application, I just bought what I thought was a very good belt. Sure didn't last long, so then bought a Kevlar, and belt is still good today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theniteowl 29 Posted March 29, 2016 I cheat. Once I find the Simplicity belt # I search ebay for it and generally an ad selling one will have the belt dimensions. This one came up as 3/8 x 48 which makes me wonder. I have had nothing but 1/2 or 5/8 belts for my Landlords. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rokon2813 272 Posted March 29, 2016 About 4 sticky's down in the Tech Tips forum is the 2008 belt and blade reference. Gives all the simplicity belt numbers up to that point. At the end is a conversion chart giving all the dimensions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macallis180 296 Posted March 29, 2016 I was looking at that table, but couldn't see it very clearly, thus obviously had the wrong part number. Either old eyes or old computer = probably the eyes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
