Ariens belt and throttle control question

Hey guys, I am a bit of lurker around here. I have a 1972 (I believe) Ariens 910008 that has had a bit of a rough winter. Throttle linkage stuck shut, engine seized (but I got it un-seized! whoot!) and the chute ring cracked in half and fell off... rough season. But I purchased someone's half finished project so I will get it the rest of the way... I hope.

Anyways... I am on erplacementparts.com looking for a replacement drive belt and throttle control for the blower and noticed the following part numbers...

Belt:
07204700 - $19.72
07210800 - 25.02

Throttle control:
06908500 - 49.93
06908600 - 47.42

Anyone happen to know what the differences (besides) price on the part numbers above?

Here is a shot of the throttle control:



TIA!

Well in case anyone is following... here is what I found...

This is what the 06908600 throttle control looks like...



So looks like I need the 06908500.

And the belt differences are...

07204700 - 3/8" X 36"
Ariens 72131 72157 07204700 07212600 07213100 Replacement Belt 3 8"X36" | eBay

07210800 - 1/2" X 36.5"
Kevlar Belt for Ariens Snowblower 72108 07210800 Exact Size 1 2" x 36 5" | eBay

So looks like I just need to pop the belt cover off mine and measure.

Just in case anyone has the question in the future...

According to the 10000-series parts manual I have, you want the 72047 belt which in the new numbering scheme is 07204700 (so the first one you listed).

And the 06908500 throttle should be correct.

It's funny, when I got my '71 machine it came with a belt that looked just a little too wide and sat a little high in the pulley. I bet it's that other belt you found.
