I guess my idea of expensive is different than yours. The belt company has a $35 minimum so I bought three different sizes at about $12 each (each size is slightly bigger) The pulleys are also about $12 each. (4 needed) I also havd to buy two pillow block bearings and a bearing shaft.

Mine are probably a lot smaller than what you have. The biggest pulley is about 4" across and on the motor about 1" across. (everything is in millimeters and can't remember those sizes) The distance from one pulley to another is about 5"
