2023 Rambler 42" belt size.

Anyone know a belt that fits other than bad boys belt?

If my info is correct that belt is a 5/8 x 137 but if your belt is still intact measure the outside circumference and report back. That size would be available a standard length Kevlar belt but first got to verify the belt length and no one really has gotten off their duff and measured a new belt from BB yet.

Mine measured 134 1/4"
And 1/2" wide.
I ordered the oem belt and a $22.00 version to see if it fits.
Cheap one is Supposed to be here tomorrow.
If it works it will be my backup.

If you don't mind when you get the new OEM 041-2023-00 belt let me know its size for my records. It will help others too.

Yes I will. why they make it so hard to get a belt size.
They want you to buy their $80 belt.
Cost $100 with shipping.
Seems crazy. To have a backup is $200.00

I think you are right 134 x 1/2 is short.

stock belt is 5/8" x 138".
I bought a 5/8" x 140" belt for $28.00 and it works fine.
Could have bought 2 of these belts and saved over $40.00
Bad boy sucks, they still didn't get back to me with a size. Like it's a big secret.
Hope this helps anyone.

They just that tight with info trying to force everyone into buying their over priced belts. It takes people like me that buys, measure, and store the info in order to get around it.

Problems like this is why I now have an upgraded +100" v-belt measuring tool that now handles up to 200" belts. I personally got tire of being sent the wrong length belts and had to prove it to my vendors. I actually threw out one salesman that accused me of lying around the problems. I mean I had him by the shirt collar and put him in his car. I closed that dealer account.

Those dang belts had cost me a lot wasted time and money having to replace the belts that were never the right size. And I still come across their belts and they are still giving problems.
