is the drive belt on the lt15 proprietary?

If not does anyone have a napa number?

I just past 200 hours on the mill.

I'll call wm in the am and get a replacement and a spare.  Also a couple wheel belts.  What other spare parts should I put back?

Thanks for the help.

It's not worth it to put NAPA belts on. WM specs their belts differently than what the parts store will get. Been there, done that. The reduction in belt life was notable with NAPA belts.

Good to see this as I need to make a order from WM this morning. My LT15 doesn't have a hour meter. What do I have to do to put one on it? Do they measure the engine run time only and how do you factor for blade\belts run time?

Jay B,

I just found an inexpensive hour meter on Amazon to use on my LT15GO.  
Something like this one. Link

Just ordered from wm.  Also got the tension tool.

The hour meter came from Amazon.  I installed shortly after purchase. 

There are threads on both done by other members.

Definitely use the tension tool. Poor performance can often be traced to a slipping drive belt. I adjust mine every 50 hours. If I forget, she isn't shy about letting me know.
