Sheldon Lathe drive belt

[merlegulick]

I purchased an old Sheldon lathe from an estate sale. It worked great until the belt broke! I do not know the model of the lathe, the number stamped on the bed is WQLP 1787. The belt is leather, 1in wide and 52in long. What do I do now?

Well i finally decided to go to the auto parts store ang get a belt. I got the widest belt of the length I gould use. I had to disassemble the lathe to get it on and it works fine.
