Universal Belt

[wrldtvlr]

OK, this is a new one on me. The old 'use a woman's nylon as an emergency belt' trick has been around for years, but I've never seen a belt you can take links out of to fit. Might work for an old mower with no parts available, but I really wonder how long this would last. Especially if there was an idler pulley on the flat side.

Interesting....

Not designed for clutching applications or high torque applications. They work pretty well if used properly. Won't last more than a few minutes on a mower.

Link belts have been around for over 100 years.
Used a lot on early motorcycles
Requires a different shaped pulley
An has a low speed and low load limit
Also limited to pulleys that are 4" or bigger.
Can not have a tension ( flat ) pulley running on the back of the belt
So as Hammer has said. won't run long enough to finish a 1/4 acre block.
