For most items I can search ebay for a part number and get a replacement cheap that looks and works like new. But belts, well, I've been bitten with the $15 belt (ebay) that broke in a months time before--that's not a deal. But I've also had a $35 belt (NAPA) break after only 1 year. Meanwhile a $44 belt (ACE Hardware) lasted 8 years! I don't know how to know I'm getting quality. I know Kevlar is the buzz word but I'm beginning to suspect there are different grades of Kevlar belts out there. Is Kevlar wrapped good or is that like buying gold plated when your looking for gold?

The belt I need now is the ground drive belt--it's actually the one that came on the mower when new in 1999! The others belts I've mentioned were the blade belts which don't seem to last as long--which makes sense when you figure they are probably higher stressed than the hydro drive belt, run at varying angles depending on deck height and are prone to trash getting caught in them.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
