Post by: Davidmcd0@yahoo.ie on April 29, 2023, 09:19:25 PM
Anyone know where i might get a fan belt for a pj3. There was no belt on it when i bought it so have no size or part number and the pulleys are narrower than any belt i can find.

Good Day, if it is a narrower than normal belt it is probably an M series belt. They are available online and are measured in inches; so an M23 belt would have a total length of 23 inches. A piece of string wrapped around the pulleys should give you the length required. Good luck.

As Bob said, most likely an M section belt. Readily available at tyre shops here in rural Australia and at the local bearing shop. Very cheap too. Make sure if you buy over the counter they are ok with you bringing it back if it tends to be the wrong size. Online usually wont do a swap.
