leomara Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 My 1931 Chilton manual says a 1928 Chrysler Model 72 and 1928 Chrysler Imperial 80 both take an FH-9 fan belt. The Gates catalog says #614 for the Model 72 and nothing specified for Imperial 80. What exactly is a Chilton FH-9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I just looked those two 1928 vehicles up on the 2003 Gates catalog below. The 72 takes current number TR24403 and the Imp 80 TR24414. I couldn't find the bookmark I thought I set when I downloaded (someone a few weeks ago very kindly provided the URL) but you might search for Gates Vintage Car & Light Truck Belts & Hose Applications, includes 1989 and older applications Weatherly Index 400 Catalog No. 431-2050 August 2003 Edition Supersedes 31-2050 (1995) My old standby is the 1995 edition with the old 3-digit numbers which were converted to "TR" (truck & bus) about 2003. I have a paper copy in the shop I can check. *Good* parts houses have always been able to use the 3-number to convert to the TR. Hope this helps--let us know.

leomara Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Grimy, TR24403 is a belt with v notches in it, the 1928 Chrysler Model 72 belt would not have notches in it. This is what I've found to be the closest match: Gates TruFlex V-Belt 11/16 Inch x 38 Inch - 3380 (at 35 degrees) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimy Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 @leomara, thanks for this. I've found in one Pierce application that Gates dropped two belts completely and added one halfway between the two lengths. You might try a search for the old Gates number 614 and see if there's a NOS one on feebay. Tell me if you want the old number for the Imp 80 and I'll look it up in my paper copy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leomara Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Grimy, I believe Gates 3380 is the equivalent of Gates 614 based on my research. The Gates 761 I believe is for Imperial 80 as well as some other 6 cylinder engines of that era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FH-9 has nothing to do with the manufacturer, belt, or size. It's just an interchange number to show how many other cars use the same belt.
