Hoover Twin tub belt other than Manufacturers

[woodside902]

Hi,
I have a new to me 1972 Hoover Twin tub and wonder if anyone can help me with a belt replacement question. Can I replace the belts with the link type of belt, or other alternative V-belt?
Cheers
Kate

Motor factors

I would take your old belt or remains to a motor factor/auto shop and ask for the closest they keep in. My local dealers stock all sorts and they can measure a belt - my friend has my old servis dryer that is running a morris marina fan belt rather than its original elastic rope. Worth a try?

Try McMaster Carr on line. They have tons of belts. You lucky devil you!

I need a set for my...

Hoover too! Mine had perishable, stretchy round belts on it. One for wash action, and the other I am assuming for the pump and spin.
