[AT] woods belt #

[charlie hill]

Belts are manufactured based on length, width and angle of the V.
Unless Woods had those special made they can probably be bought
through a commercial "power transmission" business that sells belts,
PT chains, bearings, etc. to industry.   It's been a long time since
I've had to deal with that so I forget the details and I've lost track of
the suppliers but it might be worth some looking.  They might well be
a stock size item.   Good engineers tend to build equipment based on
parts they can buy easily unless their bosses want something proprietary
so they can charge you more.

Mike:
I agree, the markup is really obscene.  That is why I try to get the
size of belts on any new equipment that comes here and order extras so I
do not have to go to the parts store to buy one...  I usually have a few
extras to order when I need a main belt on the swather or other equip.
That way I can get the free shipping on the larger order...
