Turner Trojan flail mower belt sizes ( can anyone help)

[Irishlew72]

1245 must be the length so hopefully I’m 95 percent there lol!

Once I eventually find the right ones and it works I’ll buy a couple of sets to keep in the box of spares

Yes the number is mm length.

 

Once fitted you can always drop down a size if you feel it's too long or too short.

So the people I ordered the Murray 1245 belt from have just emailed me back to say this is the one I need (MXV5-520 (Inches 52) Megadyne) and gave me a choice of a heavier duty Kevlar one which I have purchased so hopefully now I can relax a little bit until it arrives lol

So guys just an update I have changed all the belts more or less, the one the flail deck was the right one but it was ribbed like a cam belt, replaced with the correct v belt, also the bearing set inside the idler pulley was a little rough so I managed to drill the rivets out and split the pulley to replace the bearing which is ideal, the gearbox one seems to work well, had to adjust the clutch cable a little though, now the belt which goes from the engine to the deck is to long, I got what was said in the manual so may have to drop a size or two, the belt that was on it was fine in size so should I go and get the measured so I can get the right one? The rest of the pulleys you can’t remove the bearings so removed the pulleys took off the sealed bearing caps and cleaned and repacked with fresh grease it all sounds so much better when running now

Took her out for the day yesterday, ran all day sweet as a nut no belts slipping etc, again thanks for the input guys. In the 90’s were these these things popular to see out and about working?

They certainly made a lot and shipped worldwide from what is now the GreenMech factory! Nige Davis is one of our production Managers and he was on the original design team! Somewhere, I got a photograph of a couple of dozen for sale in an American auction back 8n the day!

Thanks Pete I do find it interesting they are very heavy built machines by looking at them it’s a shame they stopped making the walk behind versions, I use mine as a finishing mower but had to change the original front wheels as you couldn’t get the blades low enough to make a nice job. The drive belt pulley is an old spz pulley which is near impossible to find, so may have to cut the metal off on one side to get the bearing out when it fails. Guessing you used to work at bomfords?
