This multi-ribbed V-belt transmits power from the engine crankshaft to the driven accessories in the drive system. It engages the pulleys of the alternator, water pump, and other belt-driven components, maintaining synchronous rotation across the front-end accessory drive. A worn belt slips under load, causing undercharging or overheating as the driven components lose speed. This original AGCO belt is molded to the same rib profile and pitch length as the factory-installed belt, so it seats fully in the pulley grooves without requiring tensioner adjustment beyond the standard range. On installation, verify the belt routing matches the original path and tension to the manufacturer's specification.
