Re: (ET) Belts

["Steven Naugler" <snaugler earthlink net>]

Chris,
        If the previous owner had 3L335 belts it was probably for the same 
reason
you bought them; 3L belts are available locally in most areas.  The 3V335
or 3VX335 (preferred) were the factory supplied belts.
        If you use the 3L belts you will suffer shortened belt life and 
possible
belt slippage, especially if they get damp.  It is unlikely that the iron
pulleys will suffer much.
