I decided to replace the belt on my 29 Tudor and save the old one as a spare. Ordered one Snyder's that is a A-8620 and put it on and tensioned. It appears too long as it allows the belt at the generator pulley to touch the lower radiator hose rubber part. My old belt was a 5L430, which measures as a 5/8" width 43" long. Measured all three pulleys against the spares I have and they're identical. Went to our local farm store and got a fractional horsepower 5L430 belt and it fits perfectly. Belt is about an inch off the lower radiator hose and the slotted accessory bracket off the timing cover is about halfway in it's slot. It was topped out with the Snyder belt.
