Here's a little rant.  

All I wanted was to put a new set of fan belts on my D15 diesel since it is already torn down in the shop - easy, right?  The AGCO parts book referenced #70233489, so went ahead and ordered them from my local AGCO dealer - they get a lot of business from me.

The belts arrived in a plastic bag with a tag indicating part #70233489.  The sleeve that contained the belts also read 70233489.  I went to put the belts on and they are a mile too long.  Looked at the part number on the belts:  70248316V!  I contacted my dealer and explained that the numbers on the belts do not match those shown on the sleeve, plastic bag and AGCO website.  They said they would look into it.

A few days later, they sent me a message stating that 70248316V should be the correct belt.  How can it be?  It's way too long!  They asked for the numbers on the belts that were on the tractor, but the belts are worn and the numbers are not legible.

Fast forward a week to today, they send me a message requesting the tractor's year, make, model, serial number, have I owned it from new, AND have the belts ever been changed before...

Step by step:
1963 D15 diesel serial number 13963D
Bought March 2025 from the original owner - it is older than I am!
Have the belts been changed before?  I explained that the tractor is 63 years old.  I am quite certain that the belts have changed more than a few times - but probably not with AGCO belts.  I also mentioned that the belts on the tractor fit perfectly.

Waiting to to hear back, but all I wanted was a set of belts that are meant for that tractor.  I am not asking for too much!  What an ordeal.

Does anyone know if AGCO really does have belt number 70233489?  I thought they did, but now I am not so sure...

the 70233489 is 42 inches long.......... the other is 47 inches long and fits a 170... took all of 3 minutes to figure that out.... You need a new Parts Man if he needs the year and make..

Plop the old belts on the counter at Napa in 5 minutes you’ll be walking out the door with new belts that fit.   My go to 6080 has been running Napa belts for several years with no issues.   Remember very likely Agco buys belts that meet a certain standard from someone 
8030, 7060, six 6080’s grandpa’s D17, 8760, 8100, and 8970 Deere.

I would suggest:


Not an endorsement, it's the cheapest I found in a quick search.  I picked up one at an antique car show that is about 4'long, for $35.  Only reason I paid that price, is it was the longest one I had ever seen, and lawnmower deck belts ain't cheap from the dealer, but if I know the size, I can order them from the v-belt guys for 2/3 less...

i just put a chalk mark at someplace on the OD.. then use a 6 ft tape ruler to go around the OD..... Then see if you need a A or B belt ( etc) ... some belts go by the OD, and some the ID... and there is an online chart to go from one to the other..
-----------

Fan belts are generally measured by either their inside circumference (ID/Inner Length) or outside circumference (OD/Outer Length), depending on the belt type and manufacturer. Most classical V-belts (A, B, C, D) are designated by their ID, whereas narrow-section V-belts (3V, 5V, 8V) are usually designated by their OD.
