Belt change on Tiger Cat

[jekjr]

Today we changed the pump belt on one of my Tiger Cats. It was the first time I have changed this belt. The machine has approximately 600 hours on it. It was obvious that it was getting in bad shape. I was amazed at how fast we were able to change it. Again I am impressed with my Tiger Cat Mowers.

Good post, sounds like you take care of your equipment & keep it up maintenance wise.

Thanks, we run our equipment extremely hard many times. Therefore it takes a beating. We try to maintain it by the book or more frequently on most cases. On things like belts we run them till they wear out. In this case we got close to 100 hours more than the factory recommends on this one. We got close to 500 hours on the main deck belt on one of my Tiger Cats and about 400 on the other one. At times we cut under brutal conditions.
