I just bought a Powermatic 66 with a 5 hp motor. The belt adjustment is as tight as it will go and the belts are still quits loose. it has 23" belts. Is this the correct size?

Thanks, John

Its a 1983. All I can find is a part number.

Hoping I'm not violating TOS by posting this link, but I've found it quite useful in determining belt lengths.

Your best bet is to call PM they are a matched set either two or three. Of the self at some store you will get unmatched belts where one will do more work than the others.
