Gates Accessory Drive Belt P/N:9720HD
Keep the engine accessories turning on hard-working trucks, buses, and tractors with the Gates XL High Capacity V-Belt 9720, a durable replacement V-belt built for demanding engine drives. It routes over the accessory pulleys as a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of medium- and heavy-duty applications, including the 1966-1972 Chevrolet C60 [V8-6.0L] and the 1980-1987 Ford B-600 [V8-8.2L] — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. This variable notched belt is designed to tighten on the drive as it heats up under the engine's thermal forces, helping prevent slippage and reduce noise.
