Matter of fact I do. Don't know the numbers and too busy to remember
to squirt them with wd40, oil leak.

When you do..let me know. I might have something to fit.

Went in to buy a drive belt for my SB "A" the other day, same place I
bought the replacement for the original leather belt for, IIRC, $9.00
about 25 years ago. Price quoted? $175.00 ! Guess I get to pull the
spindle and install the 52" serpentine belt I bought for $2.00 a
couple years ago; probably a good idea to pull the spindle and do a
thourough clean up anyhow as I doubt that it has been apart since it
was new 51 years ago.

I bought a flat nylon belt for a Logan a couple years ago from a shop in
Bakersfield ( http://www.cir.net/ ) a couple years ago that works
just fine. I gave the lathe away to a friend and he uses it regularly
with no issues and I think the belt cost $8 along with the clips to hook
the ends together ala the old leather ones.
