You have to go through a Gates "Industial" dealer, napa doesn't carry it because they don't carry the industrial line. I got some through BC Bearing, they are the closest dealer to me that carries them, just track down whoever carries the Gates industrial line in Alberta. Should also say the #'s do work, the local shop ended up getting them out of Ontario for me.

Ok cool, thanks.

I just spoke to Fort Garry Industries and they are calling to see if they can get access to the industrial line of belts, they said the part# is good just depends on access.

I live in a border town so I am only in sk by 3 blocks lol. I get most stuff through ab since its less tax.

Yes those are the ones, damn those are cheap, $6.69 and polaris wants $60+ in Canada Builtit I was I Lloydminster about a year ago, I was visiting friends in alberta about an hour from the border, we were out for a drive seeing the sights and they said where do you want to go? I said take me to sask. I was born there, moved out to BC when I was about 10, and haven't been back since. So they drove me through that intersection where the border is with the big towers. Man it sure is flat back there.

 

[BILTIT]

Thats pretty cool. It is flat even for a sask born and raised like myself but i come from the northern bush. There are no trees here, its strange.

Looks like i finally found a local company that can order me gates industrial belts, Woohoo! Have 3 coming from Ontario, should be here next week.



So is there sort of a mileage amount when these belts fail or not really? I have just over 1000 miles on my sled so i figure i should change it before it fails but curious how long they last.

Does anyone have an extra one or two they want to sell. I had some ordered through Napa.com, hadn't heard a peep after eight days, emailed them and they said they can't get them and cancelled the order (so when were you going to let me in on that?!). My Napa parts guy called Gates and they are on backorder for at least three weeks.

Wonder how long duct tape would hold

PUMP BELT

Where did you get them from?

I change them out every other year or around 2000-2500 miles --- which ever comes first. The new Gates belt is much stronger than the Poo belt. Check your pump shaft for any play in the bearing while you are at it. Also, drill a hole (1/2") on top of the recoil housing between your oil pump and drive pulley so you can see into it for a quick check on the belt without pulling the cover. Tip -- duct tape is very close to the alum cover in color -- a small pc. will keep the water out and nobody will ever notice it. Good riding!!
