Grim Tedder drive belt


You can take a piece of rope and fit it around the pulleys and use that as a guide. I did a quick search and it seems there were several different models using different belts. If you have any of the old belt, take that with you for width info to NAPA or any decent parts store and they should be able to help you.
 

It IS a 195" belt. My niece works at an industrial supply store. I gave her boss the measurements and description. He came back with a 195 inch "double angled" belt.

It cost me something like 45 bucks for the belt, plus delivery.

Although...I think he gave me the family discount because of my niece.

You can buy them from Leader Evaporator 802-775-5411; if you want to, but it will cost aboutr 250 bucks.

I don't have it in front of me, but at home, in my notes, I wrote down the supplier and part number of the belt that my niece got for me.

I'll post it later, if I remember when I get home.
 
Thanks. I have an old belt in one piece plus the one still on. Maybe 10 years old now. I like this Tedder a lot. I use a Kuhn 4 star Tedder to dry the hay. The Grimm is to fluff up windrows after they are raked. Years ago it was our only Tedder. Many hours on that machine.

I like ours for that same task. It's great at fluffing up a windrow that's been rained on or needs some extra drying.

The belt that I was able to get was:

A & I Products part# A-CC195

I don't know if you can get it straight from them.

It was obtained for me by Midway Industrial Supply in Utica, NY; and they drop shipped it to my home.

You have an old, complete belt plus one still on it that works? Then why are you asking for the size? You have it right there! :shock:
 

At that length, they stretch quite a bit over many years' use. My old belt actually measured about 198 to 200 inches. Measurements get dicey over that length.

When I called Midway, the belt that was available from their supplier was 195 inches. I gambled that the belt size was correct, and I was right.

If there was a 195, 196, 197, 198, 199 and 200 inch belt available; I would have had a hard time picking one.
 


And yes... 7' wide.

I have a picture of it on my FB page; which is public. See if this link works:

Should still be numbers on the belt to go by unless it's been bun flipped over.
 

I appreciate the thought, but it's funny to me.

The belt on my tedder was SO far from having any numbers remaining on it.

I bought the tedder used. I have no idea how old the belt was, but definitely no numbers.
 
I have the same setup as you, Kuhn and Grimm. I mow and use the Kuhn one day, rake in the evening. Pin wheel rake and Grimm the next for first cut, then bale. Taking 2 1/2 days for second, on this year"s bumper crop. I took the fifth wheel off the back of the rake and rigged a hitch to pull the Grimm behind while I"m using just two rake wheels to turn the windrow. Have to be careful to only use two wheels. Using 3 will turn the hay twice putting the overnight ground dampness back on the bottom. I"ve been making excellent hay for the fussy horse people using this method for many years. This time of year I go thru it twice in the afternoon. In good sun it is ready to be moved again in 2 hours. I rake outside to in, leave the tractor in the middle and rake my way out 2 hours later and bale an hour after that. I work alone and make 50-80 bales at a time, second cut. 200 with help on first. (I"ll be 82 in a couple weeks)
