Betstco Flail Mower Belt Replacement

Changing the belts outs on a Betstco EFGC-155 flail mower. The belts that came off it were 21", but they seem too short. 22" or 23" would be better.

Thank you for the video.

Thank you for the video. I can't find this belt any where. I'm assuming its a standard 21 inch v belt? I can probably get a tractor supply?

[@gcrmills]

Yes. Sorry I'm late.

I have same mower and belts failed last week. What belts are you using? Not clear from your voice. Thanks.

[@gcrmills]

These were cheap belts, as in the cheapest. They have held up for a year now though, I just don't let them smoke anymore is all.

Looks like rebuilding a Volkswagen bug motor in the car

I have the AT 145 and after about 10 hours of use one of the belts and the tensioner craped out. It is impossible to change the belts. Just not enough give. The reason it failed is that one of the belts was installed upside down from the factory. I would not recommend the BestCo product.

i just got same mower! what happened ? did you hit something?

[@gcrmills]

I left it too low in thick grass a couple of times. By the time I heard it squeeling, it was smoking. Lasted quite a while after that though. They are 21", btw.

Did you NOT replace the tensioning nut?? You'll run into problems later on :/

Well it was 2 years ago now, so far so good.

Can't see a thing, dude. How old is that Betstco?

[@gcrmills]

Turned 1 last week. Except for the belts failing, which was my fault, a bearing came apart on it. The welds and metal work seem good though.

How to change the oil please

[@gcrmills]

You might have to turn it over, and let it drain out the filler.
