147 starter generator belt size?

I thought it was 3/8" x 31" but that is to small. I did a search and cant find anything on what size it should be. Does anybody know? Thanks!

According to the chart available through the reference section of this site
http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4633

Your S/G belt length is 31-11/16.

Thanks MOturkE!

I did find one at TSC for $4.29. Its 3/8" by 32" -3L320. It was cheap, looks cheap and hope it will work a while.:confused: If I have a problem with it I will report back. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, but how did this belt work for you? I can’t seem to find a 3/8 x 31 11/16 anywhere.

That is because it is an OEM belt. Aftermarket belts will round up to 32"

It did work for a while but eventually wore out beyond adjustment.

All belts eventually wear out beyond adjustment. That's why you replace them.

Yea but it seem like it wore quickly.

So, the heart of the story is....get OEM?

Your choice. I don't. Not that OEM belts aren't good, but I think Gates are just as good, and cheaper. Plus, I no longer have a local dealer.
