I have an old IH 2444 tractor. An ordinary fan belt is very hard to replace. Will this type of belt hold up under moderate use?

I suppose that depends on what you mean by moderate use.... Table saws typically run for short periods of time measured in minutes. I would think moderate use of a tractor would be measured in hours. I have no empirical measurements or tests, but I don't believe the belt would hold up long if used on a tractor for several hours per day. Is this used for some kind of drive belt on the tractor , or something more like an alternator?

This is exactly what I did on a 30 year old Ford front loader. It seem to hold up fine.

These belts are wonderful. I have replaced the stock belts on my woodworking eq. With these and couldn't be happier!

I bought it for table saw use so it's fairly limited use, but it works very well for that.

Give it a try, I use mine , on my 1968 , Jim Dandy economy tractor , For my Hydrolic Moter, on the left side of my tractor, this Belt goes from the side ,Hydrolic Moter, to the inside shaft , where you can,t get ordinary Belt on,

I've had mine less than a year and am now working on replacing the belt (approx. $35 including shipping) for the second time, which must be done by a technician ($99/visit). We've tried repairing ourselves. It's very hard, even to get the wheel covers off. I'm not pleased at all.

The belt is extremely simple and durable - just like the pants.It should last you a couple of years.

I didn't use the "tool" but I had to wrestle with it a bit to get the replacement in. My belt was in good shape so I didn't replace it. About a 20-30 minute job. Pay attention to the positions of the pieces as they come apart or it won't fit.

You would have to change the fan and pulley just to start to even think about it. The belt pulley is made for 3/8 inch drive belt. I would continue to look for something different. It would be one nightmare and then another to try to make this work

Hi Lez, Thumler has one of the best Customer Service Departments I've ever dealt with. I called, and they sent me a replacement pulley & drive-belt, for a very reasonable price. Call this number: 1-800-225-1017 Or visit this page: http://www.thumlerstumbler.com/contact.html Hope this helps. Bill

It appears to be a good quality rubber reinforced with nylon or some type of fiber. Very much like a fan belt.

I use it to remove fly wheels from garden tractors and so far no problems. So far it has handled all the pressure I can put on it

Hum . . . . I can't really answer that question. I've had my belt 6 months or so. Sometimes I wore it for several hours several times a day, and then I didn't wear it at all for weeks. I will say that this is a quality made belt, and that it should last a long time! Looking at some of the other comments, I'll say that it's very important to position the belt correctly and you don't need a lot of pressure for it to be effective. It helped me get over my sacorillac problems!

I have never had to replace a belt before. However, we have vacuum cleaner repair shops in our area. Perhaps you should check your yellow pages for a store near you and inquire. I have also seen repair parts in stores that sell vacuums like Walmart etc.

It all depends on if it has a V belt or a flat belt. Mine has a V belt. Look at your old belt and that will show which you have. Then it is no problem to purchase the right one. :-) 2x John Deere Original Equipment V-Belt #GX21833 Sold by Green Farm Toys Condition: New $65.98 Purchased on Amazon and fit perfect.......

It's not as strong as the heavy duty one. I would suggest going OEM. I had to replace it after trying it out, it was making weird noises.

The fan has tow main moving parts really. The motor spinning and the side to side oscillation. Electrical motors are made in a way that they do not need to be lubricated regularly. The motor will likely burn out well, well before it is time to lubricate or replace the bearings. For industrial grade motors you might need to lubricate or change bearings, but for this, no. I would strongly discourage you from lubricating it. Excess lubricants add gunk, and attract dust and other particles. But if you are so inclined, it can be taken apart to a certain point. The motor casing is held by 4 screws which can be seen from the back. Again, this isn't an industrial motor made to be serviced by the user. It will last as long as the motor lasts and it will do just fine the way it is. I would NOT suggest adding lubricants or tampering with it in any way, you will likely only cause harm. Good luck

Depending on how much oil your tractor is leaking, but if its just a drip it will last for a good amount of time. It isn't very heavy so you'd have to find something for it to stay put if the tractor is stored outdoors. I had to duct tape to the driveway because the wind would constantly blow it away. I wish it was made heavy like a commercial entrance rug, but for the price its a good product.

my garden tractor is a GT6000 and uses two belts. the long one is sears 196103 and the short one is 420807. The less expensive one on amazon is 4 or 5 inches to short.

V belt but the pulley came in and was the wrong size and did not fit properly. I would suggest going to your local lawn mower shop v. Ordering this item.
