Babs 2 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I inherited my father's circa 1950's Craftsman 6 inch jointer. Model 103.20660. I need to purchase a new set of cutter blades and a pulley for the motor. Manual says it takes a 1/2 inch Vee type belt but doesn't specify the size. Does anyone know where I might purchase parts? I tried Sears Parts direct but they don't have anything with this model number. I can't measure the pulley as I'm in Maine and it is still in Indiana. I wanted to purchase the parts before I drive back to pick it up next month. Any advice on restoring will be helpful. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 1257 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 https://www.manualslib.com/manual/596009/Craftsman-103-20660.html?page=6#manual This has the parts diagram and parts listing. You might have to dig around to find a current equivalent part number or something else with the same specs, but this should get you started. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bradpotts 706 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Maybe something like this might work? https://www.rockler.com/1-2-power-twist-plus-link-v-belt?msclkid=324634ace80e1a7d8f4554c28ccacb11&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NX_DSA Page Feed&utm_term=All_Products&utm_content=All Products Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark J 2289 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 For a fan belt I have in the past been able to get something that fits from an auto parts store. And welcome to the forum. With a new to you jointer, you're gonna wanna hang out here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom King 3890 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 You need a "fractional horsepower belt". An automotive belt will give you a vibration from the joint, where it's put together. Auto parts stores do sell the fractional hp belts. Google "how to measure for V-belt". 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtnhighlander 7766 Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 The link belts like @bradpotts suggested are supposed to be great for reducing vibration, and are adjustable length. Harber Freight even carries them, if you want to try at low cost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Babs 2 Posted April 9 Author Report Share Posted April 9 Thank you all for your advice. I have seen the link V-belts at Rockler. They're a bit pricey. I didn't realize Harbor Freight carries them so I'll look for them there. Was thinking about replacing the belt on my bandsaw with a link belt to reduce the vibration. Will wait until I actually have the jointer and can take off the old belt and measure before purchasing a new one. Same with the cutter blades. Looks like this place may carry the right size jointer knives/cutters, https://www.americannationalknife.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjw9r-DBhBxEiwA9qYUpdT4EeX4JhqnjU1l5IN2NgJQBq53QNf8KfBDTNzeakI3LibDEli-4RoCGT4QAvD_BwE. I'm sure I'll be back again with more questions once I actually start on the restoration. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
