The original belt has gone - that's why I need to know the size for a replacement.
Anyone?

use a pice of rope that will fit in the bottom of the grooves while the tension is in the middle of the ajuster slot then pull the rope tight and then mark its length and take it to a belt place and have them measure it and theylle get you the proper belt. it worked on my sprayer when the drive belt got melted off and i had no other means of getting one

DAYCO and Delco Part # 15480, HC41, or #88934343 { Effective Length 48" / Outside Circ 48.57" / Top Width .44" / Angle 36 degrees. for Fan & Alt. This one is the proper width.

GATES Part # 7480 {High Capacity V-Belt (Standard) HC41 3/8" x 48 5/8"}
Fan & Alt., Optional Belt This one is too thin and will slip.

GATES Part # 5725 {Special Belt HC47 7/16" x 48 7/8"}
Fan & Alt., Preferred Belt. Proper width.

ACDELCO Part # 5725 {HC47 7/16" x 48 7/8" #88933926}
BELT,V FAN & ALT.; PREFERRED BELT; SPECIAL BELT This one is the correct width.
