Myers A32 Air blast sprayer

philcaseinWPA · Sep 5, 2021

I bought this sprayer in 1985 when I first took over the farm. It is a good sprayer with a 2 cylinder piston pump. After 36 years the 5 v
belts that drive the blower have given out. The owners manual does not have the size of the belts needed. The only description is high
capacity belts??? F.E. Myers & Bro. Co. of Ashland Ohio is out of business or not making sprayers anymore and the dealer I bought it
from is gone also. I googled it and got no hits. So I have turned to this site where the knowledge and information always amazes me. Does
anybody know the size and quality belt I should get, and a source maybe. The tomatoes need to be sprayed. Thanks.

Do you have at least the remains of a belt to carefully inspect for a number, or cut it and stretch it out and measure it?

Here is a chart with dimensions, match the dimension, and click on the effective outside length (stretched out), it will give you a number.

Consider that the old belt ma be stretched, and look at the position of the tensioner to determine if you need to go up or down on the size. But it should get you in the ball park. Since it calls for high capacity belts, consider Kevlar. Check with Offroad Belts, online sales, fast and cheap!

Take the best one to your local industrial or farm store

Take a piece of string or twine around your pulleys and then measure.
