Tom,
These belts might work. . . it should be known Kirby stopped making the original Handi-Butler belts and other parts many years ago. www.oreck.com/xl-upright-vacuum-r... ~Ben |

Tom, I should have warned you the belts get eaten up fast when polishing.
Try not to let the polishing mop slow down to much or stop. As this causes the belt to slip Give it plenty of breaks, so it can cool down. I bet they are the original belts. I need to find an alternative belt as I use my handi butler quite regularly |
