Hi!
I hope I not clogging this part of the forum by posting this question here.
I have an allis-chalmers B-112 Garden tractor that the drive belt has been slipping. I've found that Simplicity made these garden tractors for allis chalmers to sell under the allis chalmers brand.
The belt is a "variable speed belt" is about an inch wide and 54 long, the simplicity part number for the belt is #164080.
Now for my question;
I went to the local parts store and they wanted +$49 for it! napa was not different by much either. I found a place that would sell one to me for +$37 but once the shipping was added it was only a few (less than 5) bucks cheaper.
Is there a place that sells belts cheaper without it being a belt you'd use once and throw away?
Any advice would be appreciated as I had been using belt conditioner to squeek along, but the belt's getting gummy and is fouling up the clutching effect.
Thanks!

I bought one at Belt Warehouse for $18 but it was 3/4 by 48, if that helps.

If the pulleys are worn out you'll just waste money on any new belt you buy. Go to a industrial bearing supply place.

You could run down to your local hardware store and buy a common V belt of the appropriate size for about $5, BUT, that belt will probably not make one trip around the yard and it will be stretched beyond use and you will have thrown away $5. There is a reason the correct belt is priced where it is, pay the $49 and be done. How many years did the original belt last?

That sounds about right for a decent belt of that type. I have found cheaper belts, but were not satisfied with them.
