AI belt report

I tried a few A & I belts on the combine to see if I could get by being cheap. I just replaced one that lasted 630 engine hours. In fairness, it was not broken but had two spots where it was only holding by 1/16 inch.

The original belt that it replaced lasted 3100 hours. I went back with OEM. Pretty sure I'm done with A & I for belts.
 
Do as you see fit but nothing is going to last as long as OEM from decades ago. Does not matter if JD, CNH, or AGCO.
 
NY 986 I believe you are spot on. I replaced a Kubota mower deck belt with OEM. It lasted about 3 summers and broke. I had saved the original belt from 1990, put it back on and it is still in service.
