Model A Fan Belt: Choosing the Right Dayco Replacement Question

When replacing the fan belt on a Model A, many owners are familiar with the Gates 700 fan belt as a reliable fit. However, as auto parts stores have discontinued handling Gates products, many have switched to Dayco belts as an alternative.

According to a tip from Floyd Dupras, Sr., the Dayco equivalent listed in the belt cross-reference chart is too small for the Model A. Instead, the next size larger belt, Dayco #22425, fits perfectly and may provide longer service life because it is a heavy-duty woven belt.
