How to Find a Part Number for Snow-Blower Auger Belts
- 1). Check your owner's manual. Your owner's manual should not only provide the model number for your snow blower, but also the parts numbers for auger belts. If you cannot find your owner's manual, check the manufacturer's web site; most small equipment companies provide electronic copies of owner's manuals online for quick reference.
- 2). Contact the dealer who sold you the snow blower. Home equipment dealers usually carry parts, such as auger belts, for the equipment that they sell; if they do not carry auger belts, they will have access to parts databases or will know of a dealer who does carry auger belts for your snow blower.
- 3). Search through online parts databases for home equipment. Online databases such as partsandequipment.com feature parts numbers for almost every kind of small engine home equipment, like snow blowers. Get the model number from your snow blower--usually located on the back base of the machine or in the owner's manual--and search for auger belt part numbers using the snow blower's model number.
- 4). Remove the auger belt and measure it. Some parts databases, equipment dealers and hardware stores stock auger belts by their diameter or belt thickness first, then cross-reference it by part number. If you cannot find the auger belt part number, take the belt and its measurement to a hardware store, small engine repair shop or a dealer and search for the belt's part number by using its size.
