I fell out with gates along time ago,,, I have been using dayco but lately have had quality issues,,, a gates product did not repair the issue either,,, Goodyear belts hoses have always been good to me when available,,, Chrysler, Hyundai, and Most of all my biggest headache Nissan get OEM hoses and belts...
As hard as it is to bite I have went to OEM hoses and belts when I can talk the customer into it,,, its hard to beat a zack fit for dummies hose... This always delays the job a day are to so we both suffer for quality... I state before I start the job,,, no guarantee on leakage when a old hose is used... No matter how well you tie a old hose down one comes back and bites ya time to time...
Guys that deal with this issue daily will tell ya theirs some ill fit'n hoses on aftermarket shelf's... I have seen 10 year old OEM hoses that are better than new aftermarket hoses,,, theirs a reason the aftermarket says to replace them every four years,,, that's the life span of their junk....
I have been at this long enuff to see allot of brands come and go,,, Sometime the the 80's the market got flooded with cheap belts,,, Those belts were great for a year are so till they got belts covering the walls in every mom and pop shop around,,, then they did a switch to a lower quality line,,, you were stuck with'em...
Why the aftermarket can not copy the OEM's engineers spec I dunno... Close is not always close enuff...

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
