Garden & light duty 3L / XDV38 belts

10mm wide · Light-duty garden belts · Also sold as MXV3

3L and XDV38 belts are light-duty V-belts for lawn mowers, ride-ons, garden tractors, tillers, snow blowers and small outdoor power equipment, as well as workshop machines and household appliances. 3L, XDV38 and MXV3 are different names for the same 10mm section, so they share sizes and fit the same pulleys. Search by the code on the old belt, such as 3L360, and use the filters to narrow it down by length.

One section, three names

Same size, any name3L, XDV38 and MXV3 all describe the same 3/8″ (10mm) wide section. If your old belt says XDV38, a 3L or MXV3 belt of the same length will fit the same pulleys.

Reading the codeThe number after the section is the outside length in tenths of an inch. 3L360 is a 3L belt 36 inches long, and an XDV38 or MXV3 belt marked 360 is the same length.

Light or heavy duty?3L and XDV38 belts suit light-duty drives. Choose MXV3 heavy-duty belts for ride-on mower decks, clutched drives and machines that work hard, as they last longer under load.

Tip: light-duty garden belts aren’t designed for industrial motors and machinery. For those drives, use an industrial Z section belt of the right size instead.
