John Deere GX20006 Cross Reference

I was asked for help to find a cross reference for a John Deere GX20006.

Here's what I found.

The John Deere GX20006 v-belt, which is 1/2 inch in top width and 88.9 inches in outside length, you're looking for a standard A-series v-belt with these dimensions. The A-series designation is part of the classical V-belt system where the "A" indicates the belt's top width, and the numerical part usually refers to the inside length in inches.

However, since v-belt lengths are often given in outside measurement, it's crucial to match this with the product specifications. For a belt with a 1/2 inch top width and an 88.9-inch outside circumference, the closest standard size is an A86 belt, which corresponds to an outside length of approximately 88 inches. Given the slight difference, it's important to check if the belt tensioning system on your John Deere equipment can accommodate this minor variation.

Cross Reference Suggestions

Gates - Look for a Gates A86 belt. Gates is known for its high-quality, durable v-belts, which are often used as replacements for OEM parts in heavy-duty applications.

Dayco - Dayco also manufactures A-series v-belts and would likely have an AP86 belt that matches the specifications you need. Their belts are designed for a variety of equipment, including lawn and garden machinery.

Carlisle - Another option is the Carlisle A86 V-Belt. Carlisle belts are engineered for performance and longevity, making them suitable for a range of outdoor power equipment.

Some aftermarket manufacturers specifically offer direct replacements for the John Deere GX20006. These belts are designed to meet or exceed the OEM specifications and are often more readily available. See our recent blog telling why the original manufacturer's parts is ideal. 

When looking to purchase, it’s advisable to verify compatibility: Double-check the belt size and compatibility with your specific model of John Deere lawn tractor. Compare Quality and Price: Consider both the durability of the belt and its cost-effectiveness.

You can find these belts at hardware stores, lawn and garden centers, or online retailers. While I can't provide direct links, sites like Amazon, eBay, or specific outdoor power equipment retailers will likely have these belts available.

Remember, the exact fit and suitability can depend on the specific model of the John Deere equipment you're using, so it's always a good practice to consult the user manual or a professional if you're unsure.
