ok final update the belt i just got 34.4" 90cm long by 1/2" wide works like a champ. i went out yearterday and blowed out the back drive section about as big as a 40 x 80 barn 12" deep compressed for a week and it blew the snow liek a champ. so for those looking for a belt the 1/2" x 35 1/4"...

ok update i got the belts it is working this one came from husqvarna at one time and i got it from ebay original part number on the cover is 581-832401 like the book says. so maybe when the part was picked the incorrect belts were in the wrong bins. even after 3 tries. anyway like i said if you...

if you just cut the belt it will still be the same length it it is worn that will not change the length if it is broke cut off the jagged [arts off and measure with a tape you can to the in a bathroom thanks

well i just do not know how to advise you on that. like i said i was a machine repairman for 40 years and i use the shop floor to measure long belts. and for long belts if i needed hep i found help to hold them. for long belts i would just lay them sideways and run them along the wall. but then...

i guess it depends on how you actually measure them. in my 40 years as a machine repairman and in on stint i worked in the shops apint line and i had to maintain maybe 4 sets of belted machines, all fans a few for the chain drive. and in my time on that job i measured then the same way i...

we will see tomorrow. if it turns out to be the wrong length i will stop back and let you all know. and then i will go the the auto parts store and get one. i could not before as i did not have the length. thanks bp

i know about how belts work this is from the husqvarna. some belts need to be cogged also to be able to take a sharper bend. and this is not a serpentine belt it only uses the back side for getting the tension for grabbing the drive sheave. belts have done that way before serpentine belts came...

ok i got the belt size it is a 1/2x35 1/4" belt for those that need to find one local in a hurry. i sent out a bunch of questions to online v-belt sites and most came back to me with that size. the husqvarna dealer told me they have an error and some place send out the same size as the drive...

ok but i'm saying they are 2 different sizes. i have 3 of the drive belts now and when i compare them the difference i like 2" when holding them in your hands and i tried using one on the impeller and it was loose as a goose. so if you ever had to do one and get that belt i'm betting your going...

the model is pr271 (96192007301) according to my owners manual t different size belt. like i said i got the 4L x 38.2 belt one time from the parts store, one time form lowes and one time from poulan website and they all are for the drive belt i tried the poulan one on the impeller and i...

i see tht but my belt is 35.2 i measured it. that number 581832401 is not correct for my machine i got 3 of that number and i tried them and they are as loose as a goose. 2 different belts 2 different numbers. the 4l x 38.2 belt is 584 83 2401 the one i need is 581 83 2401 thanks

thanks they are 2 different widths according to the poulan pro website. the drive belt is the 4L x 38.2 the impeller belt is 3/8" x 35.4 long and yes you can get kevlar belts at the auto parts store i have got lots of them over the years but they may not have the 35.2" belt but they do have...

i have the poulan pro snowblower model pr271 and the impeller belt finally gave up. the book calls it a 581 83 24-01 it turns out to be 35.4" long. so has anyone figured out the normal size of this belt so i may get on at the autoparts store or maybe lowes? the drive bel they crossed in the book...
