Rockler carries link belt by the foot:

Rockler and Woodcraft also carry a 4 foot length of belt along with machined steel pulleys as a kit. Around $50 and the cheapest improvement in vibration I ever tried.

Try Grainger Industrial Supply and search for Powertwist Plus belts.

[Bruce Wrenn]

HF also carries them, along with Johnstone Supply (HVAC parts supplier). HF's are green.

[CPeter James]

Any bearing supply house will have them. They are Fenner power Twist and you can buy them by the foot to fit what you need. Most larger cities have a bearing supply house that has bearings and belts that fit woodworking machines much cheaper and of better quality than OEM.

When buying a link belt or any belt for that matter, make sure to measure the width of the belt, usually 3/8ths or 1/2 inch, along with the length. This could save you some grief. Jim

These guys carry the Link belts:

H.F. carries a blue "quality import" Power Twist clone for around $4/ft.

[Jerry Strojny]

Grizzly also carries them, both 3/8th and 1/2" widths.

[Brian Hale]

I've got the blue/green HF import belt that Kyle and Bruce refer to and also the "real" Fenner power twist belts everyone is familiar with. The HF import is not as high a quality as the Fenner belts; thinner and less gripping power. I ran the HF brand on my jointer and it slipped under heavy cuts but the Fenner belts didn't.

I suggest you stick with Fenner belts.

Link belts are not supposed to be used with adjustable pulley(Reeves) drive mechanisms. Check to make sure your snow blower does not utilize such a system.

[Greg Narozniak]

I have always bought mine from Grizzly. They carry 3 different sizes and the prices were always very good. I installed one on my Toro 724 snowblower and it has worked fine the couple of times I used it last year.
