Rockler carries link belt by the foot:

Rockler and Woodcraft also carry a 4 foot length of belt along with machined steel pulleys as a kit. Around $50 and the cheapest improvement in vibration I ever tried.

Try Grainger Industrial Supply and search for Powertwist Plus belts.

HF also carries them, along with Johnstone Supply (HVAC parts supplier). HF's are green.

Any bearing supply house will have them. They are Fenner power Twist and you can buy them by the foot to fit what you need. Most larger cities have a bearing supply house that has bearings and belts that fit woodworking machines much cheaper and of better quality than OEM.

When buying a link belt or any belt for that matter, make sure to measure the width of the belt, usually 3/8ths or 1/2 inch, along with the length. This could save you some grief. Jim

H.F. carries a blue "quality import" Power Twist clone for around $4/ft.

Grizzly also carries them, both 3/8th and 1/2" widths.

I've got the blue/green HF import belt that Kyle and Bruce refer to and also the "real" Fenner power twist belts everyone is familiar with. The HF import is not as high a quality as the Fenner belts; thinner and less gripping power. I ran the HF brand on my jointer and it slipped under heavy cuts but the Fenner belts didn't.

I suggest you stick with Fenner belts.

Link belts are not supposed to be used with adjustable pulley(Reeves) drive mechanisms. Check to make sure your snow blower does not utilize such a system.

I have always bought mine from Grizzly. They carry 3 different sizes and the prices were always very good. I installed one on my Toro 724 snowblower and it has worked fine the couple of times I used it last year.
