Questions and answers
- Are these two belts actually different?
- No. Both list OEM part 120-3893 at 3/8 inch wide and 31.625 inches long. The drive and auger labels describe where the belt goes, not two separate parts.
- Will one belt fit both the drive and auger on a Toro 824?
- If your machine calls for 120-3893 in either position, yes. Check your owner's manual or the old belt's number before ordering, since Toro used different belts across 824 model years.
- Which lasts longer?
- They are the same part, so wear should be identical. Belt life depends on tension, pulley alignment and how much you clear, not on which listing you buy.
- Is a cogged belt better than a plain one?
- A cogged belt bends around small pulleys with less heat buildup and grips better on the drive side. Listing A states cogged; listing B does not state a type.
- Is one worth extra money?
- No. Paying more for the same part number buys nothing. Compare the two listings on price, shipping and stock.
