Turner Trojan flail mower belt sizes ( can anyone help)

[Irishlew72]

Guys thank you so much! I purchased a parts manual which seems to state the correct belt sizes and have contacted Joe turner engineering and they also sent me the parts manual for free (so a waste of a tenner buying it online), these guys at joe turner are absolute legends! I’m going to buy the belts from them hopefully as they have been very helpful and sure it’ll be better that way incase I get the wrong ones somehow, considering it’s such an old machine it’s still in a great condition it’s more of an ornament really but sometimes take her out if the grass is long and I know there is nothing horrible to hit like stumps and rocks because it’s my pride and joy (how sad lol), I’m very grateful for the reply’s, it will be nice to take her out again this year

Looking at the belts from the parts manual the drive belt I have on there at the moment is 15mm to long so I am very glad to have found this out

Over the years, I've seen a handful come up on ebay, even the early units made in the GreenMech factory by Nigel Davis who is part of the production management team here now!

I’ve found all the belts online apart from one which seems more difficult to find 

 

in the manual it says this “ Belt power rated “b” x 1245 

 

I’ve found a belt online (totally belts) which says “Murray 1245 belt” which says it’s suited to mowers snow blowers etc and is shock resistant, very strong etc so now I’m wondering if I’ve got the right one or not?

Is that Kevlar reinforced?

Not sure it says this on the site 

 

Murray 1245 Belt

Carlisle belts by Timken are specially designed for outdoor power equipment and aggressive applications with heavy shock loads. High performance constructions are developed to deliver more horsepower, less stretch and longer service life. Carlisle belts are optimized for demanding applications including mowers, snow throwers, tillers, shredders and splitters.

The other 2 belts I purchased are “premium quality gates” according to the man on the phone so hopefully they will be alright?

They're mostly rebranded to whatever the manufacturer requires, sometimes you get the option as they last a little longer.

 

But for a £5 belt it's not worth the worry, but never bad to keep a couple spare for when the inevitable happens mid way through bashing back the overgrowth.

The "B" will be the size of the vee section(profile) the1245 quite possibly the length (1245 MTR) if that helps.

Thanks guys I even called a local belt place and he didn’t know either ahhhh! He said is it a flail mower because he’s had people ask before about this size and it seems difficult to cross reference or something, I’ve ordered the Murray 1245 belt and if it fits I’m going to throw a massive party
