The pulleys I linked you to are correct replacements for the originals. They are high quality welded pulleys if you need to replace the ones you have.

I think the belt that Roland listed would work well for you. :beerchug:

If you put a 1/2 inch belt on there with original setup it will fray the belt rather quickly. However Ive had my 3/8 belt in place for a few years now with no issues. It was built to run this way

This makes sense to me. I guess i was frustrating in that i didnt know how to ask the question.

The only non spec part is the smaller drive pulley. I will look into swapping that back to spec. Thank you for taking the time to explain it. :beerchug:

Got em up!

Mr Bedell was very helpful with the part number for the correct belt. IF I keep the 4 drive pulley.. What would the correct IH belt be? Would it be 3/8ths by 76 ?
