    Carlisle bought out Dayco belts. Dayco used to have a listing online of belt lengths, widths and #'s, but Carlisle changed the website.
    Mudd-ox is the only 6 or 8 wheeler I know that uses a diesel, but I don't think ever used a CVT clutch with the diesel (only gas motor).
    I think Argo also offers a diesel in the "industrial model", but I don't think I've ever seen pictures of those that weren't tracked....maybe tracks were an option that everyone bought???
    The other diesels you find will be custom builds. The biggest issue is the RPM range. Most will want to run between 1500-2500 rpms. Yanmars will turn a little faster though, and may be an easier motor to tune in.

    That depends on which powerbloc 50 you have. The older conquest CVT (an older version of the powerbloc 50) like the one I have uses different mass blocks. The guy at CVTech told me they weren't interchangeable.

    Ahhhh... Roy is the Argo parts guy. OK called him. He was clueless. Nice fellow but knew only about Argo and their is only one belt for them.

    interesting. Since mine came from CVtech I hope that is not an issue I run into.

    Oops, sorry I sent you astray, that's the wrong guy. Roy is the guy behind Quality Drive Systems <click that link--

    He's talked about in these parts as a CVT guru.

    I don't think it is. I just didn't want someone with a conquest and its old powerbloc 50 accidentally buying the newer weights.

    Understand your not wanting my post to cause anyone with a Conquest/pb50 issue so thanks for adding that tid bit of knowledge for the readers about the compatibility point.

    As to Roy: DING DING DING DING..... you sir are my hero. Roy is THE MAN. Had a great conversation with him and even found out we have a common friend.
