The easiest, fastest, and maybe cheapest way is phone AA. 570-326-9114 If we support them they'll be there when we need a part that you can't buy at the auto parts store.

The belts may be different from mine. I don't know if they changed sizes over the years. Both are the same, 1/2" by 33". Gates # 2330. The chain is 1/2" center to center pins, .35ish between plates. My neck doesn't bend enough to read the number. If you buy three feet you'll have plenty.

Also be aware that if the unit has been around for a while different sized pulleys may cause the stock size belts to not fit. A follow up call to AA can verify what you should have. The chain is size 41 55 links plus master (right flyer5?

)

Not sure if buying belts from AA will keep them in business but regardless please buy some spare parts (I agree with Freddy we need to support them), rollers, ash separator cone, bearings, coil gaskets, etc are all good things to have on hand.

Yup ya need to Keep Beverly busy @ AA purchasin parts...LOL , I will say this abought Axeman ..in all the yrs. we had our 130 Bev was the WOMAN!..she had us replacement parts in 24hrs.. as we all know stuff breaks on the COLDEST DAY OF THE YR!
And she was more than helpful when our 130 developed a leak ...an we decided to retire it , since we have been customers for yrs. she sold us one of there new NPO series oil units right off there dock.
NOW to stop any ?'s on WHY we didnt go with another Coal unit is this, I had some surgery due to cancer wich left me with a hand an arm that are round 30% and my wife all 100 lbs. of her is not able to carry nor would I ever ask her to haul ash buckets out of the basement, we were looking at the long haul ..Boys are raised an gone its just us ..an doing a complete redo was our only option, the new Oil fired Axeman we purchased from them is very nice with 88.5% efficiency rating.
Mathaus made a trip up and surveyed the parts,boiler, and pretty much everything else we had for our 130, Mat is probably the most DEEP IN HIS HEART COAL GUY..I have ever met!..he made us a very good deal on our parts and old boiler that I am sure will be fixed as good as new and making someone a happy NEW owner of a 58 soon!!
JUST GLAD IT DIDN'T GO TO SCRAP.
Make her pretty and useful again Mat!

It was nice meeting you Tim!

Hope that oil boiler is up and running now. I just picked up a gas fired AA 130 **Broken Link(s) Removed** too bad you don't have natural gas out there!

On a note related to this thread, AA is now in a slow period, hurry up and order your replacement parts before the season hits.
