What if any markings were on the model A fan belt? Printed, stamped?

Coupster · 10-26-2013, 05:11 AM

Judging Standards Section 3 page 4 and 5 will answer that question.

MrWzrd · 10-26-2013, 07:31 AM

Q: Where am I?
A: Sitting down, facing forward.

Also a correct answer that has no value.

I have the same question and I don't have a copy of the judging standards.

I have a bright red industrial link belt so that must be the one and it fits and works fine.

Arcieri · 10-26-2013, 08:52 AM

These would be the markings for the red one used in mid to late 1931.

What is considered a smokin' deal one one, $400.00 or less? Bob

Does this help you.. and YEA less than 300.00 would be a great deal! They might be hard to see...

I have a belt I found hung up in the rear seat springs of my Tudor.It is Ford script,and the number is,B-8620-AB.I've actually gotten three answers as to what it is,but I've never checked to see which one was correct.Those markings are molded in on the outside of the belt.

A picture is worth a thousand words Thanks!!!

Here's a picture of an original fan belt taken off of a 1928 car that had only 18,000 miles on it in 1965. It has no markings whatsoever.

msmaron · 10-26-2013, 03:12 PM

at 18k they would be long long gone on the inside

Maybe you need to buy a copy of the Judging Standards and spend more time reading it then trying to be a comedian.

What is the big deal about giving an answer to someone's question? You guys act like it is ok to be rude. What is this forum for if not help our fellow Model A friends, not to get smart with them and make them afraid to ask questions!

If you don't want to answer a question, the don't. But don't run good people off with a crappy attitude.

Fred · 10-26-2013, 07:02 PM

Yup, NOW we have TWO !!

glenn in camino · 10-26-2013, 07:19 PM

I don't have $500 + to spend on a used fan belt so I spray the black ones with red rustoleum primer. They tend to darken some with time and miles but they look pretty good on my touring class cars.

No comedy intended. It was sarcasm.
In the same amount of time it took to look up the page, the question could have been answered.
I prefer straight up answers. If asked the time, I would not explain how to build a clock. I'd answer with the time.

Prior to one month ago I had never had a Model A.
I am going to my first local meeting this Tuesday.
Mine is to be a daily driver so I have no interest in judging standards.
Why would I spend any time reading something of no interest to me?

For the same reason you are reading a thread about markings on original fan belts.

Many question can be answered by the restoration guidelines. And you wont be eating off others plate....

I need a damn fan belt! Excuse the hell out of me for reading a post that has fan belt in the topic. What a snotty bunch. The above reasons are invalid

By the sound of things, I think MrWzrd needs a tune up !!
