Currently from Gardner (Dixie Sales) and RBI for Husqvarna (AYP), MTD, and the Briggs belts. The Briggs belts I can also get through Power Distributors and Sunbelt as both are Briggs distributors too.
The JD belts are from the local dealer that is giving me a small discount off their list prices but every little bit helps. And I price these accordingly.
I got in with Sunbelt back '09 but wasn't able to get the others cooperate until last year. Matter of fact RBI took 6 months after I signed up for dealer to even call me back.
I do recommend that you get a v-belt measuring tool. It does come in handy at times or at least does for me. Now mine does have two extension added so I measure up to 170" belts instead of just the 110" that the base tool has. Yes the tool is a little pricey but I found it worth if nothing else for the just knowing what I dealing with.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
