The Gates Tri-Power BX173 is a cogged classical V-belt in the BX profile with a length of 4471 mm. Before you fit it, take a few minutes to inspect the drive and its sheaves, since worn or misaligned components will shorten the life of any new belt.
Check each sheave groove for wear, rust, burrs or embedded debris, and confirm that the grooves are clean and free of oil or grease. Look for a step or ridge worn into the groove sidewalls, which can prevent the belt from seating correctly. Verify that the sheaves are aligned with each other using a straightedge across the faces, and confirm that the shafts do not flex or move under load.
Inspect the old belt for signs of what caused it to fail: cracking, glazing, missing cogs, or uneven sidewall wear. Uneven wear often points to misalignment or a worn sheave, while glazing can indicate slipping from insufficient tension. Correct any drive problem before installing the new belt so the replacement is not damaged the same way.
The same size is also listed under Dayco BX173. To request a quote, send the part number BX173, the brand Gates, and the quantity you need by WhatsApp or email, and the team will confirm the belt or suggest an equivalent.
