What brand V belt to buy?
Original Message Feb 2, 2011 8:30 pm |

Need to replace belts on my Ariens 8524. They all look the same to me, and I don't want an inferior one. What brand should I buy and should it be "improved" with notches in the V? Asking because it needs a belt every year or so. I assume I'm buying junk, but never made note of what brand I've had.

Thanks. We'll be by one of those places during vacation. Their site doesn't show Ariens parts, so I guess I'll have to measure the belt or find the size specs to match. Always one more thing, but that's OK.

Always one more thing, but that's OK. Check your Ariens manual / old belt for the OEM belt number. Google Ariens+xxxxx. Some of the results should give you the belt length, then just get a kevlar belt of the same size. You might even find Amazon selling OEM belts for dirt cheap clearance.
