I do not have an answer to your question re part numbers(seems they change often) but which ones - poly v drive belt and or motor v beltsteveogden wrote:Wow, thanks for all helpful info! I might be able to figure out my belt problem out from the V belt replacement guide that was posted, but to correct my post above, I meant the drive belt. Can anyone confirm:
A: Is it the same specs as the Mark V drive belt? (The correct part # for Mark VII drive belt appears to be 507490, which is different from the Mark V drive belt part #)
B: Anyone know the exact size so I can search for a replacement?
C: The belt included has a part # of 501330 written on it, but I was having doubts that it was correct sicne I can't seem to get it back on, but again, the V belt guide may help me figure this out.
Thanks again!

However, while I did as instructed, and confirmed it was set to highest speed before shutting down to replace belt, when I started back up, there was a definite heavy load on the motor, so I shut off before I blew the circuit. Again, I'm totally naive here, but wouldn't I want to set to a lower speed (while manually turning the spindle) before starting back up? or is there any easy guess why I might be having the heavy load? (Again, I still have some fear that the drive belt on it is too short (it took some force to loop it onto the sheave)).
