Ford 8n Fan/Gen Belt

I am looking for a Fan/Generator Belt for my 1951 Ford 8n.
Anyone know of a good Napa belt that has worked? Should it be notched? The one i have on now is flat.
The tractor is still 6 volts with a Generator
Do Most Generators have a few bolts to loosen the belt to make it easy installation?
Thanks!
 
8N could be front mount distributor or side mount and the generators on the 2 of them mounted on different sides of the engine so you need that info plus the factory belt is a 5/8 inch wide belt. 1948 to early 1950 where front mount and the generator was on the right side. In April or May of 1950 they went to the side mount and the generator was on the left side and the 8N ended in 1952.
 
Should this belt be notched?

Notched belts are not necessary but could provide slight benefits. The notches allow the belt to have more flexibility or bend around a pulley, this allows them to be a little more efficient and last a little longer.
 
(quoted from post at 09:11:07 08/16/18) That I cannot help you with since I do not have an 8N that has the original belt on it

Well they're not originals. They're aftermarkets but this would be a great place to buy them.
