Re: V-belt replacement
I have yet to find a NON shopsmith replacement belt for my greenie. Fortunately these are still available the mother ship. Good thing too as as Poly V conversion is a bit pricey.
Last time I got belts from the Shopsmith they came with detailed replacement instructions.
a quick you tube search found Jacob Anderson

the drive belt replacement is this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcBoSAh ... e=youtu.be
Lots of videos on there should be able to find some help there.
Jacob also appears to sell a replacement drive belt. but I can't speak for it.

there are other videos as well on you tube.
good luck

Re: V-belt replacement
Close, but not exactly. Narrow and not correct length. 'works' speed range not as intended
I think 'Jacob' touts them.

Re: V-belt replacement
Shopmith does not provide other than a Shopsmith number that means anything. They do not describe the physical characteristics that you would need to purchase a belt. The Shosmith belt measures 26 3/4" on the outside circumference. A new belt is 1/2" on the outer perimeter and 9/32" on the inner. Mine is 19/64" thick.
I have a belt that I bought from Shopsmith that has no markings at all. It works but it rests in the pulleys differently. It is wider and longer (not by much) but it is different. I now keep it as an emergency spare.

Re: V-belt replacement
The belts I purchased from Shopsmith come with an instruction sheet. I followed it and the task was easy. Here is a link to it.

Also, the 1983 owner's manual that came with my Shopsmith has an older version of a page for belt replacement.

Re: V-belt replacement
I should probably provide further information at this point. My current belt is still intact however it has become deformed. It wants to turn inside-out. when I try to correct it ,it turns again inside/sideways out. I believe it is a shopsmith brand or one they use it has perelli brand attached (in green) labeling. Like I think I saw in, sawdust's video

Re: V-belt replacement
Perelli was, at one time long ago, a provider of Shopsmith belts. My first Shopsmith Mark V came to me (new direct from Dayton) with a Perelli masked belt which I am sure would have had a part number. These days we know not who the manufacturer might be. Shopsmith does not provide that information. In fact, I believe they try real hard NOT to disclose who their manufacturers are.roneg wrote:I should probably provide further information at this point.

Re: V-belt replacement
I ordered some belts from Shopsmith in the summer of 2015, and they had these at that time.
