for the use but Harbor freight has link belts too.? I¡¯ve had
one on my lathe for at least 15 years.

3L link belt isn't cheap, but it is
available. I'm not finding any at Travers.com, but
MSC-Direct should have it. they did when they were
running Enco. Just did a generic search, and found that
Amazon has it.??
That was just one link, there are others for other
lengths and costs.?

I have a totally off topic
question for you. I just got one of these mills,
and the belts are breaking apart. What kind of
belt are you using there? I see it's not a
regular v belt. Do you need to disassemble the
headstock to change it?
Motor Belt: L3-125
Spindle Belt: M1-85S
The motor pulley is either 9-428 (1/2" motor
shaft) or 10-428 (5/8"motor shaft).
Those pulley part numbers are the same as used
on the 10" Atlas and 12" Craftsman lathes which
use a 1/2" wide 4L series belt. The spindle
pulleys are narrower and I believe use a 3/8"
wide 3L series belt. I regret I do not have
cross reference numbers but if you measure the
LOA of the outside surface you should be able to
find the right sizes in fractional horsepower
belt charts.
You will need to remove the spindle to replace
the spindle belt.
