Cross reference original drive belt help???.

[Disabledsportsman]

I do hope that this is the right forum to be posting this request for help from the members.if it's not please except my deepest apologies.
My request is this I was finally able to remove the clutch belt off of my MaxIV and found the number on it with the help of my wife.( She has better vision then I do). My problem is I cannot find a cross reference aftermarket number to replace this belt with a better quality belt. The number is 018033 by Recreatives LTD. And then there is a other number that we managed to get off the belt which is 2607-365. if there is anyone out here that can help me with a aftermarket number of a belt that will fit my machine, I will be forever in your debt. By the way I have a 18hp vanguard motor and the factory sulsbury clutch in my MaxIV if it means anything. Thank you so much in Advance and God Bless you all !!!

I use a 1092M3 daco belt to replace the factory one.

Best bet is to order a new one from the factory.

hi
Matching belts can be dangerous as most parts houses do not have listings .
Beaware that only some belt makers manufacture belts suitable and long enough
Most quad and snowmobile belts are shorter in length
The best way to match a belt is to ring the customer service help lines
Call Gates , Dayco etc to get a cross reference .
Only use a recreational belt as an industrial will probably have the wrong angle and material/construction
OR
Call recreatives

If u install the wrong belt even 1/4 longer this will upset the gear change ,acceleration,top speed and the longevity of the clutches
The clutches primary and secondary work as a system with the correct belt
