Has anyone tried to use link belt on a lawn mower deck or drive system. Same mower i spoke of earlier the guy says he has a roll of link belt he got for next to nothing. He wants to know what I think. This is a kind of plastic stuff from what I recall. seems like going around the idler pulleys forward and back then setting on a spinning pulley when disengaged would be hard on them. Any body tried it?

Never tried it, not sure I would. What ever the price is of a good Gates v-belt is cheaper to me then having to F with something when I need it to perform.

Non scio.
When I went into the 8th grade, I was "selected " to take the Latin class that was just starting in my school. I completed 2 years of Latin. Non Scio is about all I remember. Oh, it means I dunno.

Oh, it means I dunno. I would've thought that at your age the only reading and writeing classes at school were carving hieroglyphics in stone with a bronze chisile and a wooden mallet. I hope you know I am just funnin you. |

I won't try it my self. Knowing it will take several tries to get it to fit is enough to stop me. He is cheap and hard headed so we will see. |

I used it on a JD 440I loader tractor for a fan/generator belt. Sure was faster than droppin the hyd pump drive shaft outa the front! Was still on that POS, when I traded it to a local tractor jockey, several years later!  |

I agree with Kevin, it would disassemble itself in short order if it had a small idler on the backside.
These things work for slow speeds on large pulleys.

That gives me spare belts for the belt sander, table saw, jointer, & anything else using a 1/2" wide belt.

Agreed, those link belts work for many things. A mower deck? I got my doubts.

Prolly trim more grass if you fed it to a goat.
Last one of those I seen was on a CASE industrial and a 4366 IHC A/C compressor.
