My long belt is about to die and I'd like to get a replacement ordered. Does anyone know the length of the center belt in a 3 belt setup? I might as well get the short ones too if anyone knows the proper length for them as well. Also, is there a superior brand/material/source to consider? Thanks very much!

Woods L59 has a 1 belt set up. Anything other than that, you'll have to take the old belt off and measure it.

As Tucker stated, somebody changed it over to be a 3 belt system.  You'll have to measure the belts, or if they are in pieces, use some twine to wrap around and get close.  With the twine, you'll have to add about an inch or so to get close.
I know there was someone on here that did that to a B (I think it was) and you'll have to do a search to find it.

This may not be much help, but I have a 3-belt set up on my Woods L-306 mounted on a CA tractor.  I used B-64 belts for the short belts and B-128 for the long belt.  
FWIW...

Using the twine method, it appears to be about 144" - so we'll see what is out there. Thanks!

For posterity (in case someone else has this question), my belts measured at 144" and 55" - both in 5/8. These, it turns out, are common sizes (lends some confidence that I measured correctly). I've ordered a new set of Kevlar belts and will post again if I did something wrong or if I end up learning some other expensive lesson.
