Belt forTriStar CXL Turbo Head 2-1000

There are a few belts that will work for you.

Since the powerheads were made for Tri-Star by Eureka, you can use a Eureka AR powernozzle belt- that's what most vac shops will sell if you came in looking for a Tri-Star belt.

Of course, the Kirby knurled belts will work as well, & should last a little longer, as they will 'grip' a little better. You can also use the belts from the Royal Commercial Metal Uprights; Dirt Devil Jaguar, Purpose for Pets, & Royal Lexon S17 canisters. The canisters use powerheads that are knockoffs of the Eureka Express; the canisters & upright use the knurled belts. The belt you would want is Dirt Devil Style 8, part # 1-672260-001. This is the part # for the commercial upright belt & is the same part # for the canister belt as well.

The Dirt Devil belt is IDENTICAL in length & are knurled like the Kirby belts, just different lettering on the outside. You will pay a little more for the knurled belts, but it's worth it, as they will work better & last longer.

Should you decide to use the knurled belt, the Dirt Devil Style 8 belt can be found at Canadian Tire for $4.99 for a 2-pack. DON'T go to your local vac shop, as you will pay more. My local vac shop sells both the Kirby & Dirt Devil knurled belts, 1 for $3.99, so your shop will probably charge around the same price.

If you buy online, though, search under "Royal belt 1-672260-001" on Google & that will provide search results for the Royal Commercial upright belts.

Best of luck,
Rob

PS- Should you ever need to use it, Tri-Star's website here in Canada is www.tristarvacuumscanada.com.... You can order parts directly through them or locate a dealer in your area.

Checkrate/Likes I own a TriStar CXL s/n 8893723 with a Turbo Head 2-1000 s/n 0050305. I am looking for a supplier of the flat belt for the Turbo Head, preferably in Canada. However I understand I may have to deal with a US dealer. Many thanks.

Checkrate/Likes *"DON'T go to your local vac shop, as you will pay mo* I would disagree with that, buy local to support your local economy... :) May cost a bit more (In my case, it's cheaper than big brand stores), but it's better to support independent business than fuel the big box stores... :)
