As I was running my 5542 combine home, I shredded my lower traction drive belt...I think it just disintegrated due to age....anyway where can a person find a replacement one...and or are they even available...
 
Agco took over White - I'd try a Massey dealer first off. Massey took over the White rotaries before Agco came on the scene. Something as common as a traction belt might still be available from them.

Barring that the aftermarket might have something or even a good belt shop might fix you up, especially if you can give them a part number to cross reference to.
 
Google Jaydee Enterprises and click on ag link on left. They carry a large supply of belts for White equipment. If you have your part #, you can check and see if they have it. Good luck.
 
If by chance JayDee doesn't have it, call Cartney Bearing in Watertown SD with the dimensions. They have gotten variable belts for me thru some of their suppliers.
 
I don't have a parts book for a 5542 but do have one for the earlier version 431 which was pretty well identical except for the motors. The variable speed belt for the 431 carries a part number 9810110, length 88 1/4 in., width 1 3/4 in. This is the variable speed belt down behind the left front tire. No guarantees but I'm pretty sure it would be the same as the 5542. White/Oliver/Cockshutt used this drive on many of their 1960's and 1970's models. Better double check the 5542 number in case it's different.
 
AGCO will have it. I buy all my 525 and 7300 parts from Maibach over in Ohio. Havent called they with a part number yet where they didnt have one in stock or could get one the next day. I will give AGCO props on one thing, and that is they are surprisingly good at carrying replacement parts for the older machines.
 
This is why this site is invaluable. Nelson Equipment in Thief River Falls, MN has 3 of the drive belts...133 bucks...genuine AGCO too..30 miles from me. They have a lot of parts for White/Oliver
