V belts for 44 inch JD/RAD 2 stage snow caster

[leonz]

Would any of you happen to know where john Deere gets its gag, cough, wheeze, hack, very expensive ($150.00)
V belts for its RAD 44 inch snowblowers for the LA series????

I really do not want to have to have the guide pulleys and the impeller pulley machined to receive an A117 belt.


Thanks much.

Leon,
What's the JD part number for the belt? Is it M174506?

leon, is #34 (long belt) the one you're after? Deere#m115885,
if so, I'm sure the dealer isn't telling you that they offer it in a lower priced belt through two companies they on control of A&I and Sunbelt,
