Fan Belt for Arctic Cat Cheetah 5000 500 cc 1976-1978

Fan Belt for Arctic Cat

This fan belt is a direct replacement drive belt that keeps the cooling fan turning on Arctic Cat Cheetah 5000 and 500 cc snowmobiles from 1976 to 1978.

Overview

This fan belt is built to drive the cooling fan on Arctic Cat Cheetah 5000 and 500 cc sleds from the mid to late 1970s. When a belt wears out, the fan slows and engine heat builds, so a fresh fan belt restores consistent airflow. It is aimed at riders keeping a vintage Cheetah 5000 or 500 cc machine running reliably who need a fan belt that matches the factory fit.

• Heat-resistant rubber compound stands up to engine bay temperatures

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: What are the signs of a worn fan belt? A: Cracking, glazing, frayed edges, or a belt that feels loose on the pulleys are common warning signs. A slipping belt can also cause the fan to slow and engine temperatures to rise.

Q: Does this belt need special tools to install? A: On most vintage Arctic Cat fan-cooled engines the belt installs over the fan and crank pulleys with standard hand tools. Rechecking tension after a short run helps the belt seat and last.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
