Out of interest. I have these belts which came with a load of carrier spares that I bought some years ago. I make them 58" around the outside perimeter. 8/10" wide across the top and about 7/16" to bottom of V. Ron

I was running B52's on twin belt pulleys without issue.

Hi Ron,
Going by the Catalogue number, G137 on your new belts, they were for a M7 Medium tank built by International Harvester.

regards, Richard

OK Richard, that may well be the case? I bought about 1/2 ton of carrier spares from the late Tony Oliver which came back from the Falklands after the filming of 'Evita'. Everything else was carrier related so I have no idea why these belts ended up with the stuff. Obviously I've never tried to fit them. .........Anyone need any belts for an M7?. Ron

Hi Ron,
Your belts are for the G137 series of US vehicle (M7 tank by International Harvester), but are also used on the G166 series Universal Carrier T16. Issued in pairs matched for length, P/N C124220.

Thanks Ross. That's why they were with the carrier spares then. I'll email you.
