   Joe,

   If you still have the old belt (hopefully) just take it to your local NAPA auto parts store.  Belts are pretty much standard, they should be able to help you.

   Regards,

   Mack

   The belt is in a couple of pieces. After a little research it seems the number 135J-6 is some kind of industry standard,13.5" w/ 6 groves. I still haven't found an internet outlet but I'm hopeful. NAPA may be a source now that I know this is probable a common industry number. There may be a bearing issue that caused the belt to break and I'm not going to order anything until I check this out. Unfortunately I was in the middle of planing some wood for drawer sides when this broke. I'm going to finish planing at a friend's, finish the project, and then worry about fixing the planer.

   Thanks for your help

           Joe

   I somehow recall them going out of business. Is it what is now the Super Shop by Smithy?

   Your best option may be to visit an industrial supply house that handles power transmission equipment.  Such as Kaman Bearing, Horizon Solutions, Applied Industrial Tech, etc.  Every moderate city has someone.  The guy at the counter should be able to recognize and measure the belt easily.  It's possible the belt can be metric, by the way, which isn't a problem because all the large supply houses have them or can get them in a day or so.

   A Google search of "135J-6 belt" turned up many hits, including this one.

   Wayne:

        I also found that page. I also found a page that discribes what the belt number means. 135J-6 means 13.5", 6 ridges. I'm not sure what J means. I'm thinking the width.

       Thanks for your interest. I'll get it fixed after I finish a few other things I have going.
