A belt and a half 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Art Benstein on  Fri Mar 15 12:50 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Zee, I could never get it into my head how belts were measured, so to match an old tractor's drive belts to the stuff hanging on the pegs at the farm store, I devised a couple pulleys on a 1x2 stick complete with calibrations. One of the pulleys was screwed to the stick. Reason being, it seemed no two manufacturers used the same technique to designate size. I never throw away a belt unless it is shredded beyond recognition.

Could you cut the '84 PS belt, measure it and get a sense of the 1075mm nomenclature, then wrap it around the AC end of your project, mark and measure? Same for the smaller power steering belt, but maybe you could use an old alternator belt for the measurement? Be careful of the differences between pulley measurements with a fresh belt and those with a worn belt.
