If you can measure the outside diameter of the two pulleys, and the distance between the pulley centres, then any drive belt supply shop should be able to supply belts of the correct size - they use some sneaky math formula to calculate belt length, then they just use a look up table. The other (farming style) alternative, is to run a length of string round the bottom of the vee for a full loop of the two pulleys, and then mark off the start and end point with a pen where the string overlaps. Do not stretch the string, but don't leave it loose, either. That gives your belt length, and you can then take that to a belt supplier . . . . and start looking. Hope this helps. First option is easier, but only works for two pulley systems - not three or serpentine systems. Don't forget to leave the belt adjustment in the 'loose' position when you do this, as you need to allow for belt tightening with age/wear.
