Hey CJ...

I don't have a definite answer on this, but I think I'm going to order a Dayco HP2031. I didn't cross it exactly, but it has the same length and top width as what folks are saying was the orignal belt (Salsbury 704084 and Goodyear 1930V491). The HP2031 is still being made, as it's the correct unit for many of the John Deere Gator UTVs.

Again, I don't have it on the machine YET, but it looks like it might be a winner. I'll post again once I get one for a good price.

::EDIT:: picked one up for $30 on Amazon today; should be here Friday. A good reason to get the beast degreased and put back together ASAP.

::SECOND EDIT:: I just realized that I never updated this. The Dayco HP2031 fits perfectly on the Hustler 980.
