The belt on my new PM1340GT machine was labeled as a B25. It was almost impossible to get it on to the high speed side of the pulleys since it was far too small in length. I cut it in half and measured it at an outer length of 26.25". I believe that a B25 is actually supposed to be 28" so this one was mislabeled or just very poor quality.
I ordered a BX25 from McMaster and a new Gates Tri-Power showed up today.
The new belt slipped right on and easily fit on both speed ranges. However, on the outboard position as shown on the photo the side cover will now not fit. The motor pulley is hitting the bottom of the side cover when I try to put it on. I could trim the side cover to make clearance for it but wanted to find out more here if I could.
So what size belt have you 1340GT owners gone to when you replace the factory belt out?
