[AT] Belts?

[charlie hill]

Dean they have it in Rolls so with the help of some lacing it can be made to 
any length.  The roll I saw in the store was probably 50' of so.  They sell 
it by the foot.  it's 2 ply nylon.  Comes in 6, 7 and 10 inch.  Like you, 
I'm not sure how much load it would stand or for how long.

Charlie,

I'm not sure if they would be strong enough or long enough.

Dean,  I was in a tractor supply store the other day and they had rolls of 
belting that
were made for round balers.
I wonder if they are strong enough to run on a tractor belt pulley?
They looked pretty stout.

Tyler,

I would suggest a 6" wide belt for the most universal application although 
they usually
come in 6", 7" and 8" width.  Belts are usually specified as the total 
length of the belt
so the distance separating the two tractors belt pulleys will be 
approximately half the
length of the belt.  If the two facing tractors belt pulleys normally 
operate in the same
rotational direction you will need to twist the belt.  These longer belts 
are not so easy
to find in decent condition but they sometimes show up at swap meets and/or 
antique
tractor  shows.  I suspect there are companies who still make new belts but 
they probably
would be prohibitively expensive.

Hey Folks.
I know this is a pretty stupid question, but does anyone know where I can
find a belt that
would work on any tractor, JD, IH Cocshut, Oliver, Alice, etc?
I want to use it to get my model A going when I can't crank it and get it
started, and
don't have access to a pickup.
Thanks,
Tyler
