bolens 850 belts

[vhgmcbuddy]

I need a set of belts and cant find a supplier..the main drive belt is wrong, so I hav’nt even got a pattern help please.

If you can get the distance centre to centre of the shafts and the diameters of the two pulleys, most bearing specialists will be able to give you the correct belt. And type. Will most probably be a spz v belt.

Hope this helps

thanks stew, I tried the local motor factors and they nearly got it right, Henderson bearings on Monday, the trouble is they are not that easy to change, so I relly need to get the correct ones first time round…

Local motor factors will only stock set sizes for vechiles, best bet will be a bearing or drive trian speclist. Where abouts in the country are you? Theres a very good company near me in hull,

im in the new forest, i have Henderson bearings in Ringwood and bsl in Southampton..the real problem I have is the belts were not the correct ones to start with, I don’t think they are wide enough…i.e they maybe the wrong section..can any bolens owner measure across the wide bit of the main drive belt please? Both my drive belts appear to be the same length, is this correct? Do the americans use a different u.s section to us? thanks steve

When I had my Bolens Ride-a-matic some of the drive belts I had to order from the US as standard section belts didn’t work as well. The drive belts were made by Gates and were recommended Bolens part numbers.

You could try looking up ‘Bolens Gates drive belts’ in Google and see what it throws up.
