Replacing the belt on the LM1160 MMM mower

Diggin It · May 1, 2020

Tag on belt says Dongil Super Star Banded 2/A117

Have any of you had to replace this belt? Where did you get it? Dealer, or elsewhere? Price?

Do you really have to remove the gearbox to replace it?

Speaking of which, does anyone have the manual for this deck?

Nobody has had to replace this?

Having trouble finding it in stock. Dealer price is wayyy too high. Third party site have good prices, but no one seems to have it in stock. Either a very popular belt that sells out, or a very unpopular one that no one keeps much stock on hand.

3BG Supply Co.... about 25.00 each + shipping, I bought 2 to save shipping costs
Don't worry about the picture showing 3 belts, it's generic, the 2/a117 is a dual banded belt

Talked to them earlier today ... out of stock with a 12 week lead time for restock. No idea why it will let me get to checkout if they don't have them.
Other suppliers I've found so far, same thing ... none in stock.

Wondering if I can use two singles?

That was my plan before finding them at 3BG, about 2 months ago.
It'll be just A/117, but they are almost as hard to find. Good luck

Unable to find the 2 band anywhere. Websites will let orders go through and charge your card, but they don't have the item, so they cancel an refund. Ended up going with two single Kevlar 119". Went on fine. Ran the mower for a few minutes and it seems OK.
