In response to your comment about not being able to find these leather belts. I would suppose that there are not many machines made today, out there, that require leather belts. With that being said, there is not much reason for NAPA or TSC or whatever source you use to get your supplies, to stock them or even have access to them. I would guess that in the early 1900's you would probably be able to get a harness for your team of horses or get shoes put on a horse in almost ANY town in America. Now, just like back then, there is a thing called supply and demand. There is not much of a demand for horseshoes and harnesses, so therefore, you have to go farther to get these services. As for the quality/thickness of leather, I'm pretty sure there is "thick" leather being produced somewhere in the world, just probably not going into belts for machinery, since rubber belts would probably be cheaper to make and last longer. Now I know somebody will make a comment about being able to get harnesses made by the Amish. I'm sure that is possible, but that is a long distance from where I live!!! Heck, I bet the Amish probably make their own leather and could probably even make the belts!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
