Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a generic automotive V-belt on my Westwood mower?
Automotive V-belts and mower V-belts are manufactured to different specifications with automotive belts typically designed for constant-speed accessory drives at higher temperatures whilst mower belts must handle variable speeds, frequent starts and stops, reverse bending around multiple pulleys, and exposure to moisture and debris that automotive belts never encounter. Using an automotive belt on your Westwood will likely result in rapid failure due to these different design requirements and operating conditions.
How tight should a new Westwood V-belt be after installation?
A properly tensioned Westwood V-belt should deflect approximately half an inch when you press down with moderate thumb pressure at the midpoint of the longest belt span between pulleys, measured with the engine off and no load on the system. New belts may seem quite tight initially but will seat into the pulley grooves and relax slightly during the first few hours of operation, so you may need to check and adjust tension after the break-in period to ensure optimal performance.
Do Westwood V-belts need to be broken in like new engine parts?
New Westwood V-belts benefit from a gentle break-in period of approximately thirty minutes of light-duty operation before subjecting them to full loads, allowing the belt material to properly seat into pulley grooves and stabilise at its working temperature without the stress of heavy cutting or steep hills. During this break-in time, avoid engaging the PTO suddenly or mowing particularly thick grass, and check belt tension afterwards as new belts often relax slightly once they've conformed to the pulley system and may require minor adjustment to achieve optimal performance.
What does the size designation like "B38" mean on Westwood V-belts?
The letter in V-belt designations like B38 indicates the belt's width and angle, with "B" being a common size representing approximately 5/8 inch top width for medium-duty applications, whilst the number represents the belt's inside circumference in inches, so a B38 belt measures 38 inches around its inside perimeter. Other common letters include A for narrower belts typically on smaller equipment and C for wider belts on heavy-duty commercial machines, and these designations must match exactly for proper fit and performance.
Why do some Westwood V-belts have cogged or notched undersides?
Cogged or notched V-belts feature transverse grooves on the inner surface that make the belt more flexible, allowing it to wrap around smaller pulleys without cracking, run cooler by improving heat dissipation through increased air circulation, and operate more efficiently by reducing internal friction during flexing cycles. Westwood uses cogged belts in applications with tight pulley arrangements or high-speed operations where heat buildup is a concern, though they're not always interchangeable with standard smooth-backed belts of the same size designation.
