Hi,

I know this is an old post but i can’t find anything on the internet about what the BELT specification is (or a part number) for the DRIVE belt to the grass collector and yours is one of the only posts! I dont suppose you still have any info on which belt fits the power-take-off to the grass collector at the back of the atco 1236 please - or an equivalent belt that does the job! Any info would be gratefully received! Thanks, Dave


Manual for the 11/36 can be found here at bottom of page:

Both of these parts suppliers say the toothed belt for the mower deck
is no longer available:

https://www.ransomspares.co.uk/parts...elt/501168.htm

https://www.powertoolspares.com/atco...6l80188/spares

If you have any sort of belt left measure around the outside of it.
Measure the side to side thickness and then use those numbers to search
for a generic replacement close enough to work.

None of the part number entries I saw mention the actual belt
dimensions. The Atco part number seems to be "L24812".

Hmm... this looks interesting:

Doesn't say whether it's for the mower deck or drive box though...




Your ebay belt is 24814 - the owners manual says is the drive belt.

" cutter belts " are

24812 36 inch deck
24813 30 inch deck

... also as per your link to the owners manual good find !

I thought he was asking about a different belt to drive an
auxilliary grass catcher / sweeper or something ?

If it's like my WheelHorse - the part numbers for the
attachments are documented in the attachment's manual.
not the tractor manual

Me too ;-)

He seemed pretty desperate for info... so thought I'd try throwing him
some bones. Let him figure out if any are worth chewing on :)

I'd never heard of ATCO before - was it sold in the USA ?
.... web references seemed British ..

Not heard of it before either...

I have acquaintances in other groups and regularly read a few UK
magazines. The references, language used in his question had a
British vibe to it ;-)
