hey guys new to the forum. been wrenching on small engines for years tho. i have a few custom built racing mowers and a go kart. my newest project is a scat tracker in need of some TLC. First thing can anyone tell me what size belt they run on thiers. or better yet a part number? i have tried a few belts but they dont seem wide enough. i may replace the clutches with a comet 20 or 30 series but for now i d like to at least get the right belt because the clutches dont shift out with the belt i am using. Any help at all greatly appreciated
This page might help :shrug: Once you figure out if its an asymmetric or symmetric belt, measure the length from shaft to shaft and the size of your driven you should be able to find the belt you need :thumbsup: Oh ya welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

I have gotten a lot of help from the Gates belt catalog on this link for many vintage recreational vehicles.

Unfortunately it only lists JC Penney sleds and minibikes... no trikes. Was the Scat Tracker also sold under a different brand? :shrug:

well guys. i tryed looking up that belt number. seems as tho its discontinued and no body carries them :shrug:
the whole torque converter system on this thing is discontinued. i want to convert it over to a comet 20 series sometime soon anyways. it will cost around 120 dollars to do so, but id like to try to get these clutches to work first. i wonder if i can cross reference that comet number to another manufacturer. im also going to measeure my center to center distance when i get home and then get back on here.

IF it is a Horstman converter like on mine it is a symetrical belt Gates Truflex # 3340. They are still available on Ebay, thats where I got mine. Look on the driver and the driven pulleys and if it says Horstman Manufacturing then that belt requires the 3340. Mine came with the 5hp Briggs engine and the PO said the rig was all original.
i found the gates belt on ebay. seem like its alot closer to being the right belt. my clutches are so dirty and old and rusty i couldnt find any kind of identification on them. anywhere i should look in to verify its a hortsman converter setup?

Horstman converter
It might not be a Horstman because they have their name stamped right on both driver and driven pulleys right on the face. I live in So Calif and the Horstman co was in this area. In my case the driver was frozen and I had to completely dismantle it and clean it with WD-40, clean it off and spray it with dry lube and it works fine. Use plenty of penetrating oil when trying to take any of those parts apart.
