For anyone using the Speed Changer the belt sizes are 4L220 and 4L250 or 22" and 25". The original belts for the Speed Changer were 22.5" and 25.5" but those 1/2" size belts (4L225 & 4L255) are no longer found.
Belts for speed changer- going to order today, could not find a manufacturer that makes both, hoping they work out ok

I did read the specs but was hoping the 21.5 “pitch length” was possibly for inside circumference. I’m not a belt expert though I have some.jsburger wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 6:46 pmDid you look at the specs?Mike wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 5:41 pmI believe I found somechapmanruss wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 11:31 am Bob T,

But you may have me on the other one. I’m gonna call on Tuesday to find out what the deal is on the number 4L225, it’s representing what?

Re: Everything E / ER - Technical info, documentation, links
Why Not???
Once upon a time the 4L was a standard 1/2" belt.
But then also the 225 referenced a 22 1/2 inch belt.
So what gives???

Re: Everything E / ER - Technical info, documentation, links
Yeah it doesn’t make a lot of sense but not much does these days. I’ll try to find out the meaning of life in the V-belt world tomorrow.

Part number designation for wedge belts is shown in belt top width followed by the nominal outside length in inches. The numerical prefix indicates the belt top width in one-eighth of an inch. For example, the 5V500 part number indicates a 5/8” top width with a 50.0” outside length.
General cross-sectional dimensions that are used in the US are shown below.
Wedge narrow v belt dimensions sizes
Fractional Horsepower Belt:
FHP light-duty V-belts are often used as single belts on drives of 1 horsepower or less. Its design is for relatively light loads. The most common applications for this V-belt type are domestic washing machines, small fans, refrigerators, and garage equipment. Light V-belts should never be used on any heavy-duty industrial applications, even if they seem to fit the classical or narrow V-belt pulley grooves.
Part number designation for FHP belts is similar to wedge. They are identified with a 2L, 3L, 4L, or 5L prefix. The numerical prefix indicates the belt top width in one-eighth of an inch, followed by the nominal outside length in inches. For example, the 3L300 part number indicates a 3/8” top width with a 30.0” outer length.

Re: Everything E / ER - Technical info, documentation, links
Checked with manufacturer and the Browning 4L225 is in fact 22.5 inches in circumference. All is right now in the World of V-Belts.

Re: Everything E / ER - Technical info, documentation, links
Re the length 'discrepancy', the 4lxxx specifies the outer od. The smaller 'length' likely refers to pitch diameter which is the effective 'running' length.
