[AT] Belts?

[Dean VP]

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
