I got a couple model c units i'm rebuilding. I ordered some belts from Johnson Bothers but they sent just one size. I asked about this and they said it fit both pulleys. I can barely fit it over the small pulley. I'm afraid the belt will break and/or put too much strain on the bearings. Can anyone out there shed some light on this?
Thanks!

If you have a shop near you that repairs vacuum cleaners or sewing machines, take your belt with you & have them find one slightly larger. Chances are that they'll have several in stock, so pick up extras.

You have to stretch the belt on. They won't break. Once they are on the large pulley they won't fit the small pulley again. That is why they give two belts with the new units.
