    Well, maybe at real auto parts stores. Dont expect the autozone/advance/oreilly types to stock them, or even be able to get them.
    Those idiots can't even get you a belt when you got the old one in your hand.

    Advance and O'Reilly advertise them online but I haven't been in an auto parts store in years so you're probably right.

    I kid you not, i went to all three of those places with my generator belt in my hand, you could even still read the gates number on it but none of the three could look it up to order it. AutoZone was the worse, after i said it was on a small perkins diesel generator the kid asked me. What make of car? Ford?gm?honda? What year? What model? Napa was closed so had to wait till the next morning and took all of 3 minutes to cross reference the gates number and walk back and get me a new belt, then just to be sure he put both on a belt measuring slide. I doubt the big 3 chains have a single belt slide in the entire company.

    You guys need to invest in this fantastic invention known as gravel. Or get a load of asphalt cinders. Or limerock. Crushed shell works good to.

    Seriously guys. Dont be cheap. Calling a wrecker once costs more than what it costs to build a pad to park on.

    My thought. Most of the parts stores have Dorman bullsh!t racks that these things can probably be found. Yes, even the cheap places.

    When I was buying all my stuff when I joined Mercer, I thought we were getting 20' chains.

    I guess they're actually 25' chains. My son is doingsome cutting for me and I have 5' extra. Yayyyyyy!
