USA V-belt size for the Myford ML7 lathe

[packrat]

I would like to change the worn out motor drive pulley V-belt on my Myford ML7 Lathe..I think its a US # 3L350 but not sure, ?? Has any one in the US replaced one.
Thanks

According to a manual from RDG Tools

A Series and 34 and 7/16th INSIDE.

I'm using an A Series link belting on my Super7B PXF

I suggest that you download the ML7 pdf for future problems,
They are free on the 'net if you work at it.
I would suggest that you save yourself the problem of removing the spindle when the time comes.

Confession 'Myford' RDG Tools sold me the wrong link belt series stuff-- and it climbed out over the spindle pulleys.

Thanks goldstar31 all good information I did look at RDG Tools but do not like to pay the shipping from the UK...{but I have in the past}
would rather pay McMaster-Carr in the USA a small shipping cost.. I am looking at the link belting system that you have on your Super 7 and is available in the USA.

Don't forget Hydraulic oil SAE32 is the recommended NUTO32 per the manual

I've just had to replace the oil gun-----for an extortionate £80

Hope that you are enjoying the lathe

Cheers
