I have an old MTD 8 hp/27" blower that runs great (about 40 years old), but it goes through an Auger belt a season.
I blew a new belt out in the heavy slushy snow we had the other night, I got through 7 neighbours driveways trying to be helpful. Probably was like a 2 seasons work out that night.
Anyways. It uses an A-39 belt, a neighbour mentioned maybe trying a Kevlar belt, can't seem to find one on line in Canada, only USA and UK.

Anyone experienced or know where I can get one? Princess Auto in Brampton was sold out of their generic basic belts, which I have been using, so currently I am SOL and looking to upgrade.
