By JEFF STEVENSON on Tuesday, October 09, 2018 - 07:36 pm:I’m removing a leaky, noisy, messy water pump from my “new” 1921 Touring. I got the new manifold output fitting, hoses, bolts and gasket from Lang’s and it all looks good but I forgot to order a new fan belt. I got the current belt from Napa auto parts and it worked great. But without the water pump, I’d be guessing at what new length of belt I need to get. Any ideas? Also, I’m assuming I need to also remove the thermostat from the top inlet.

By Mark Gregush Portland Oregon on Tuesday, October 09, 2018 - 07:47 pm:Langs list the belts by year.
By Tim Juhl - Michigan's Thumb on Tuesday, October 09, 2018 - 07:50 pm:Yup. Remove the thermostat. Run a string around the pulleys and measure it's length. Remember to allow for adjustment.
By JEFF STEVENSON on Tuesday, October 09, 2018 - 08:13 pm:Tim,
That’s too simple. I wanted something more complicated!!

By Mark Strange - Hillsboro, MO on Tuesday, October 09, 2018 - 08:15 pm:Ok, wind the string around twice, measure the length, then divide by two. 
By Fred Dimock, Newfields NH, USA on Wednesday, October 10, 2018 - 08:19 pm:Mark. I think he wanted something a little more complicated than dividing by two.
Wrap a string around about 50 times, tie the ends together, and forget about getting a fan belt.
