Continental Belton KA-5 mower

[Slim140]

Bought this puzzle Continental Belton KA-5 mower from a guy a few weeks ago and decided to put it back together. Probably put it on the 1975 Cub I’m picking up soon. Cleaned the bearings and got new seals.

Now I need to buy a 7/8” X 250” belt. Ouch.

Is that a finish mower or a brush hog type like a Kub Klipper?

the belt is not a cheapy, gates # C246, you can buy a no name brand for a 3rd of what the gates cost

I’m not 100% sure what it falls under. It has swinging blades like a bush hog but they are only about 8-10” long. There’s 4 blades on two spindles.

Thanks Tim. I can get one through A&I for $41.39 plus shipping, it’s not Gates though. It’ll serve what I’m going to do with it.

Shane I suggest you try the guys I made a post about. made in USA Bestorq belts, I bought two of the 20 footers for my woods L306 on the 140 for less than one belt anywhere else.

you find what you needed? I found them to be good people to deal with, their price could not even be approached anywhere else.

Yea for about half of what I found anywhere else!

I needed a belt. did a search for woods L306 on a 140. I was pleased to have the Vbelt guys come up. I lost a bolt for the lift chain and wrapped it around the center spindle the same day I installed the new belt. I assumed it would be toast so I went in the house and ordered another belt immediately. The 1st belt wasnt harmed enough to hurt it and I am still using it. At the price point I dont mind having a fresh belt hanging in the shop!



looking forward to seeing this mower all painted up and functional. I find it to be an interesting design.

Started mounting this mower.

[Slim140]

Belt came today, $34 and some change including shipping from the place Indy recommended.

[Slim140]

Got this mower mounted today and the C246 belt is way too long. Ordered a C154.

Just hang that one on the wall, Shane! That's what I do with all the wrong belts I end up with. Just sure the will be handy one day, but they seldom are!
