The b158 is an industrial 5/8” belt. A158 would be 1/2” c158 3/4. Industrial belts are measured by the id, while typical v belts are measured by the od. A b158 is dimensionally equivalent to 5v161
Murphy's law states that if you know something can break in a machine, it will break at the worst possible time. It also states that the number of parts that you can recognize in a machine is the same as the number of parts that can malfunction.
Hi! Take a sharpie an drawl a diagram of the belt an pulleys on the bottom of one of your belt guards for next time! Take care it's a scorcher hear in Ohio!
Hey Tinman, I'm sure it would break more if you didn't maintain it like you do, I think 10 years for a belt is pretty good. Hope you're all keeping well. 👍
