Previosly posted on old site !!!

I had put sp belt on and white spring on and only have 12.8 hrs.
It started to slip pulling on trailer with plow on ,then it got worse and I took apart to check before belt let loose luckly but I think belt is bad now.[xx(][B)][V]
My date is 11-16-06
I'm calling dealer Monday

I took to my dealer and they were great.
No problem replaced 2 mounts and belt all free no charge.

They are ordering me the new belt #3211118 I think it is and I will let you all know how it works.
Like someone else said on here, I didn't panic or get worried info on this site helps make all problems seem like nothing big.

Do you think it had to do that we need not to use SP belt? ;-)
see this post http://www.prcforum.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=326

12 hrs on ranger of which probably 6hrs on sp belt.
THERE IS A BAD BATCH MOTOR MOUNTS......
I know there has been several here bad with xp belts on rangers all the time..

 

[carnivore]

This is a motor mount issue.

 

[paulthewall]

how is the new belt working?

 

[carnivore]

He is waiting on the NEW XP belt which is wider than the old XP belt.Its wider like the SP belt, to give it a try to see how it performs. We are hoping it performs like the SP belt.

 

[paulthewall]

that would be nice. by new xp belt do you mean the belt for the 07's??

 

[carnivore]

No, Polaris is just now starting to sell a new XP belt with a new # that is wider than the original. It is #3211118

 

[cisco kid]

that is nice news ;-)

 

[RedRocker]

Would it be smart to go ahead and replace the motor mount from the git go and save the headache?

 

[carnivore]

A lot of members are doing just that. They are replacing it with a falcon trans mount.

I wished I would of replaced mount right away instead of waiting for smoking of belt, I knew was going to happen...

Here's what I found out about new belt.

Yes I got new belt #3211118 today from my dealer.

And here's some pictures/ of it with a xp belt.
I only have xp belt with about 4 hrs on it to compare to.
The new belt is 1/16 thicker and half of 1/16 wider and looks about same length but looks more stronger.

I put staight edge across my clutch pulleys and with belt free and measured the play with xp belt 1 1/4.

Then I put new belt #3211118 on it went on real hard after on I measured off straight edge from across my clutch pulleys and measured the play it was 1 1/2.
Go figure !!

I do have white spring installed in my clutch/ from when I had put SP belt on. No washer though.

The Ranger now shifts hard just like when I installed SP belt before my motor mount was replaced, dealer put xp back on.

I won't get lots of seat time till Friday.
I drove up and down road and back forth in drive still hard to shift.
Well like I said after Friday I'll tell more, here's picture's of #3211118 with #3211106.
