My M1 is 5hp and has the two belt set up but i think the 3hp models had just one belt. I cannot see any reaon for the belt to be different just one or two of them.

[bert]

bert here yer ours is a3.5 briggs & stratton iv'e been told that you can still get the pair of belts but the single belt is smaller & is now obsolelete just our luck.

[Bigbadfrankie]

Take whats left of your belt to your loacal BSL (bearing services Ltd) and match it. Not only will they have one, it will be cheap. All these belts are just "v" belts of various sizes all of which are used in industry. They are not made for our rotovators specialy.

the belt on my merry tiller is a replacement mitsubushi belt from halfords
