Treadmill belt is what I use. It's not as thick as what you used, but it is free for me as I scrap. Also, I use it on push mowers, not self-propelled. I take good ones off push mowers and put them on self-propelled. Just to make the more expensive self-propelled more original. Did you ask me what model the McCULLOCH blower was on a previous video? If so it is 40005102 and it was on the bottom under the gas tank vut visible without removing the tank.
I'd use the free stuff too if I had that access lol. This seemed to work fine though if not a little stiff. Plus side on this stuff is it has the fiber reinforcement in it which may help it last a little longer. Yes I did ask on that other video since the older one I have had zero ID tag on it. I looked a little closer where you mentioned on mine and found glue remnants on a 1x2 flat spot, so it looks like that's where the ID would be but it's long gone lol. oh well
Just for your info, that Snapper is the same as the John Deere JS25, both made over a decade ago. I know, because I just rescued a JS25 and I could see that the deck on your unit is the same, just red instead of green. Deere subbed it's walk-behinds back then to Murray which by that time had been acquired by Briggs. The Snapper brand name was also already owned by B&S. BTW, in case you want to retread those back bald tires (those are excellent ball-bearing wheels), here is a good video on a good way to do it. He used stair treads but I opted for the treads from mountain bike tires that I retrieved from the dumpster behind a local bike shop. Some 5 years later, they are still holding strong. th-cam.com/video/oDVMY2tJAyg/w-d-xo.html
Just what I was looking for 👍👍

Ok, where is this local rubber belt shop?

Great tip on the tire treads, thanks!
