The Honda 22431-738-701 V-Belt is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HS70 and HS80 two-stage snow blowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the belt that left the factory, ensuring correct tension, cross-section dimensions, and length for these machines. This V-Belt is the right choice for owners of HS70 and HS80 snow blowers looking to restore full drive performance during a service or repair.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this belt matches the original in profile and length, so it seats correctly in the pulleys without adjustment or shimming.
- Drive System Integrity — a correctly tensioned V-Belt transfers power from the engine to the auger and drive system cleanly; a worn or cracked belt slips under load, reducing throwing distance and ground drive response.
- Confirmed Fitment — built specifically for HS70 and HS80 two-stage snow blowers; verify your machine's serial number against the fitment table, as Honda updates parts at serial breaks.
The V-Belt is the flexible drive link that transmits power from the engine's crankshaft pulley to the auger and traction drive pulleys on the snow blower. Under normal operation it runs under controlled tension, gripping the pulley grooves to move the auger system and propel the machine. Over time, heat cycling, cold-weather brittleness, and normal wear cause the belt to stretch, crack, or glaze — symptoms that show up as slipping, reduced auger speed, or a loss of self-propel drive. Replacing a worn belt with part number 22431-738-701 restores the full mechanical connection between the engine and the working components of the machine.
