Teach me about belts
I went to NAPA to get a backup fan belt for the one I just replaced. The counter guy couldn’t find the Daycor number of either old or new belt in his system, so he looked it up by application and told me that there were only 3 of these heavy duty belts in the country and that he couldn’t be sure when they would arrive if ordered.
I was able to glean from him that the belt was 82 inches long and had 12 ribs, which matched some other numbers on the belts.
Why would they have different Daycor numbers? What is important when looking for a belt? Does it matter if they are heavy duty?

Belts are generic. If you have the old one a competent counter guy will match it to a new one.
In your case I believe the number of grooves on the belt shown was wrong and you need one that is wider. If you get one the right length and width you are good to go regardless of the number.
