Though this is the so called correct belt....,

This review is from: Hoover 38528-033 Windtunnel Drive Belt, 2 Pack (Kitchen)
I am a janitor, this belt though the book says it is right for it, is too tight as other reviewer said. I use a slightly bigger belt.hoover 38528-008 or unknown brand but number is 5287 3100603 GR .... if you force the smaller belt sold here, it will break sooner and not work better. I learned through trial and error! This is NOT this company's fault at all, a manufacturing mistake I think. I do hours vacuuming at work, and these other belts work fine on this machine.

first, get the small children out of the room,
This review is from: Hoover 38528-033 Windtunnel Drive Belt, 2 Pack (Kitchen)
And then prepare to use your bowling words whilst attempting to install this belt. Installing this belt on a windtunnel upright vacuum is akin to forcing a 500-pound woman into a size two girdle. It can be done but it's going to take of effort and there's going to be some pain involved.
Plus, there's the richocet effect. Heaven forbid if the new belt pops free while you're desperately trying to complete the installation, the force with which the rubber belt recoils could shatter glass, puncture plaster walls and/or shoot out someone's eye. I rated the belt at five stars, but I wish I could vote on the design (which is poor). It takes a few tools, lots of forearm muscles and the patience of Job to get this belt into place. And buying two at one time isn't a bad idea, if you have the organizational skills to remember where you stored that extra belt, 18 months from now when you need it. Our vacuum went through a belt about once every two years. If you're not thoughtful and careful with the machine, you'll burn through many more belts than that. The belt is the sacrificial lamb in the whole affair and the belt will burn up before the motor. Good price, good belt and crummy design.

Tight Belt,
By Brad (Boise, ID USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hoover 38528-033 Windtunnel Drive Belt, 2 Pack (Kitchen)
Like the other reviewers have said, this belt is somewhat tight. This belt (38528-033) will fit on but you have to stretch it pretty far - it's hard to get on. My older belt that was broken had 38528-008 written on it and I'm going to order that one and use it so there isn't too much pressure applied on the motor shaft.
Update: I ordered the 38528-008 and received it today. This belt is larger diameter and about 1/8" wider and is higher quality. It goes on easier and doesn't put as much pressure on the shaft. It works like a charm and is definitely the correct belt.
