Bolens Diablo Rouge and Hus Ski Discussion Forums

I have 2 belts that came with my 502. One has Dayco 3-B and Salsbury 702044 on it and the other has Dayco 366 and 1801047. Do these numbers actually relate to a 502?

Hi Garth,

The Salsbury 702044 and the Bolens 1801047 are the same belt which fit all model Diablos. Salsbury and Bolens put their OEM numbers on the belts, but they were made by various belt manufacturers in those days. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Salsbury belts are the original belts sold in 67'. Then Bolens started having them made with their Bolens name and part number on them in later years. I actually have a NOS Salsbury 702044 with a Bolens 1801047 part tag on it.

These are also the same belts which we have newly made today through Gates. The 6014.

Does this answer your question?

Thanks, that works. The new belts, are they a limited run? I think I should get one. The ones I have look a little worse for wear.

The belts we had made were a limited run. If there is enough interest when the first batch is gone (about 10 left), then we will order another batch which takes about 5 weeks to get.
