Leerwerker Report post Posted July 20, 2018 I was approached by someone to make a three inch wide drive belt - 140" long. So, I will have to attach two or thee straps end to end to achieve that. The old belt the guy had, had a very specific hinge setup that looked like a row of staples that allowed two straps to be attached end to end and make for a smooth belt. Does anybody know if and where that hardware can be found?? Has anybody made this type of drive belt? Johan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northmount Report post Posted July 21, 2018 I remember my dad re-lacing an 8" wide drive belt for a threshing machine and a feed mill back in the 1950s. Was a composition belt about 30' long when looped. No leather on that one! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
