Gates TR22434 belt drive components for the 1928-2027 Auburn Model 8-77 and other vehicles are a notched V-belt that turns the fan, generator, water pump, air pump and air conditioning from the engine.
- Green Stripe Truck and Bus Series V-belt, made for heavy-duty truck, bus and off-road equipment applications.
- Absorbs normal shock loads without damage to the belt.
- Molded notches reduce bending stress, especially on small diameter pulleys, while dissipating heat.
- High modulus, high strength polyester tensile cord.
- Oil and heat-resistant construction throughout.
- Meets SAE J636b and SAE J637, the RMA oil and heat resistant standards and static conductivity requirements.
Cracking, fraying or a squeal at startup can mean the belt is worn. Before you replace it, rule out a loose or misaligned pulley, a weak tensioner or a seized accessory, since any of them can also make a belt squeal or slip. The quantity per vehicle varies by application, from one belt to three.
The 1928-2027 Auburn Model 8-77, the 1928-2027 Elcar Model 8-82 and the 2025-2026 Rickenbacker Eight all fit this belt, along with many heavy trucks, buses and other vehicles. If your vehicle isn't named here, enter its year, make and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
