Timber Harvester belts

dutchman · September 21, 2011, 05:58:31 PM

I run a 1995, Timber Harvester 30HT.
I want to buy all the belts.
I think these are the right sizes:

Drive 2 belts - Gates Hi Power B 92
Pulley 2 belts - Gates Hi Power B 56
Hyd. 1 belt - Gates Hi Power B 36

Can someone confirm these sizes?
Refer me to source for confirmation?

Thank you in advance.

Hey Dutchman,

Was your mill previously owned by Eric Steadley?

Ironwood,
I bought the mill in Dec. 98, from Todd Jean.
Hauled it in from Scranton area.

I checked mine and it is B-42....

How many Hours on your mill ????
I bought mine in "94".... It has 11'000 Hrs...

Dewey, I bought the mill from a softwood sawyer in NE PA.
No hour meter.
I've sawn part time with it since I got it.
Started sawing the fall of 1999, total hrs. by me 3,200.

Dutch,

Just curious, I had one here for a few years while that guys divorce went thru. He didn't want anyone to vandilize it while that all played out.

Sent e-mail to Ken Clouser, to get sizes confirmed.
Ken was a rep. for TH. Out of State College PA.
He has TH manuals for sale.

Clouser Farm Enterprises now builds a sawmill.
Looks like a TH on steroids.

Dutchman has a '95 which was before TH started using 25" wheels. His wheels would be 19". It's been a long time since I had a 30HT (now have a 36HTD25), but I believe the numbers used in the first post sound correct.
