Drive Belt

Hi guy's,

Been awhile since I had a Vmax. We picked up a 85 and I was wondering what belt we should use on it.

I have been using a MAX1080.

The NOS Dayco parts seem to hold up better than the modern Carlisle parts.

I typically get about a year use from each belt until a novice operator gets stuck and burns a hole in one.

The Daycos were on clearance sale at Harland's last month for $20 each or 2/$35.

From what I can tell, the VMAX is one of the last machines to use this belt.

Dennis Kirk says the MAX1080 also fit '76 to '84 John Deere.
Dennis Kirk says '76 to '84 John Deere used a MAX1078 which is 1/2 inch shorter.
Who do you believe?

Thank you, our shop gave us a dayco 1106.

I have a clutch of my 91 Polaris RXL will it work on the Vmax?

I have a clutch of my 91 Polaris RXL will it work on the Vmax?

I believe theat Polaris used the 13/8" not the Yamaha 11/4" unless you took a spacer out from behind the spider of the Polaris clutch ?

Sounds good, I had it laying around and I thought I would ask.

I have a polaris clutch on my max with A3 weights and a comet spring. Works well but
it also has the polaris secondary.

[2quick4u]

I have a secondary did it bolt right on or did you have to modify something.

[chrisrider63]

You gotta put on a whole new jackshaft and everything just get a 102 clutch and sell
the polaris clutch. You can use a john deere 102 comet clutch and get em cheap.

Sounds good it does not hurt to ask. We just parted out a rxl and we have the stuff to do it.

[2quick4u]

Does anybody want to trade my 91 polaris indy 650 clutch for a vmax clutch.
