Overview
This cogged V-belt is an aftermarket replacement for Earthquake/Victory OEM part number 32993 (4L670), used as the forward drive belt on rear-tine tillers. The notched (cogged) design grips pulleys better than smooth belts, reducing slipping under the heavy loads a tiller generates when breaking through compacted soil. This is the forward drive belt only; it does not replace the reverse belt (part 24995).

Compatibility
Fits Earthquake and Victory rear-tine tillers including model 39381 (209cc, 2021-2025 production years, series 032978, 035574, 039686, 038258), Victory 33970 (post-2020, 212cc Viper engine), and Earthquake 38247 (2020, series 038258).

Installation notes
Remove the tine shield and belt cover to access the drive system. Release tension on the old belt by loosening the idler pulley bolt, then slip the belt off both pulleys. Route the new cogged belt with the teeth facing inward against the pulleys for proper grip. Adjust the idler pulley to achieve the correct tension per your owner’s manual, then reinstall the cover and tine shield before testing forward drive engagement.
Common questions
Q: Will this 32993 / 4L670 belt fit my Earthquake 39381 rear tine tiller with the 209cc engine?
Yes, this belt is listed to fit the Earthquake 39381 209cc rear tine tiller for model years 2021–2025. It is a 1/2” x 67” forward cogged drive belt, so the key thing is matching your tiller’s model number and belt application, not just the engine size.
Q: Is this the correct forward drive belt for a Victory 33970 or 38247 tiller with a 209cc or 212cc gas engine?
For Victory units, this belt is intended as the forward cogged drive belt for model 33970 after 2020 and for 38247 209cc/212cc gas rear tine tillers as shown in the listing. If your old belt cross-reference is 32993 or 4L670 and the machine matches those model numbers, this is the correct style and size.
Q: Do I need to do anything special when installing this 1/2 x 67 V-belt on my tiller?
Before installing, check that the pulleys are clean, aligned, and free of rust or heavy wear, because a new belt can wear quickly on damaged pulleys. After installation, verify the belt sits properly in the grooves and recheck tension and tracking after the first short use period.
