My old auger belt was slipping so I purchased a new by taking the old in to the dealer . Installed new belt ,still slipping - I have maxed out the adjustment rods etc . There seems to be no adjustment available on the idler wheel of this unit
I have come to the conclusion , purchase a smaller belt . My dealer is not user friendly so . How do I measure the belt so I may source a smaller belt . Or is there a location for further adjustments on this unit
Any help would be appreciated
regards
Terry

is it possible to get pictures of the machine in question and the numbers listed on the new belt?

even just a quick picture of the machine would help. there is at least 4 or 5 different companies that have made craftsman snowblowers over the years and for some reason Canadian model numbers are pretty much useless

I have a Craftsman 11.5 which is a Husqvarna and this is the same machine

actually they are made by ayp/electrolux just like husqvarna and poulan pro. even the numbers off the new belt would help to identify if you possibly have the correct belt or not. i think those should be running a 5/8"x38" belt

So a 5/8 x 37 would be what I am looking for .

really hard to say. that is why i was hoping you may have the part number from the new belt to see if it is the same size or a size bigger. there is a good likley hood that a 5/8"x37" belt may not work properly if it is too short. could always take the old belt with you to the store and compare it to a 5/8"x38". most stores like Canadian tire usually have them in stock.

Update: Your machine might be the 408007 belt. Add 532 in front for AYP / Husqvarna part #. It is the same as the 532-408010.

that looks like it is likely the belt needed. hopefully he can find a local husqvarna dealer that has one since most of the online listings are at least $50 and that doesn't include tax or shipping. funny enough mtd may have the belt cheapest

OK - swiped my wife’s sewing tape measure. Both belts the old and new are 38- I will try CTC for a 37.5

canadian tire doesn't show the part number needed in stock. it may be best to call up a husqvarna dealer to see if they have one. they do show a 5/8"x37" belt listed on their website but there is a good likelyhood this is the wrong belt and is too short. this belt would likely work in a pinch if you had a snow storm coming in and needed your machine but a belt that is too short will usually cause the auger to continually run which can be dangerous.

That's why I order a few belts from vbeltguys.com at one time. The two belts for my machine are around $8 each. They work great and seem to be holding up well (if I ever get some snow to really test their longevity) .

they don't look like they have the belt needed in stock and even if they did shipping would likely be super expensive. it is rare to find a company that will ship silly stuff like belts or small parts to Canada for a reasonable price. there is clips i need to put badges on my dart. $22US to ship parts that maybe take up the space about 1/4 the size of a cd case and weighs almost nothing.
