Gates Belts

[GeneMiller]

anybody ever try this instead of single belts. I need three and I came across this. I didn't know you could get them this way. Should be stronger and last longer. Guaranteed to all fit the same

That's what I use. Great durability. They don't denigrate like individual belts tend to, instead you can usually see small signs of wear.

I use those. I only run one belt from motor to blower and it works great with no slipping.

I haven't looked but I might not have the room to get that on. What kind of machines are y'all running.

So it is three belts unsliced?

Yep, designed to go over the three pulleys. The one pictured is the wrong series, it neoprene. I want epdm because it's more durable. I doubt I would have a big enough gap to get it on without really fighting it. Prevents slippage and lasts longer according to what I read. Makes sense.

I run a PowerClean unit. I have just enough room to fit it between the blower casing and engine shive (about 1/2")

I haven't even looked at mine yet so I'm not sure. I might just give sapphire a call and ask a tech his opinion. It's a complete enclosed system and You can't see the belts easily. I'll have to pull it apart first and then its kind of late. I'm sure there is at least 1/2". Even a single belt would be hard with less
