Most of the time there's 2 numbers on the belt. One is the manufacturer's part # the other is some sort of industry standard number that specifies in some kinda code all the characteristics of the belt, things like length, width, depth, angle of the side walls etc. etc. Unlike the manufacturer's part #, this number remains the same for all identical belts reguardless of the manufacturer.
Just match the length and width? Ok, what type do you want? We got V-belts, B-belts, A-belts, C-belts, D-belts. None of those? That's ok, we got plenty more types. What's the difference? They all got different X-sectional shapes. Why? To match all the different sheaves out there. What if I stick a V-belt in A-type sheaves? They'll probably slip. What if I just tighten the snot out of 'em? You might burn up the bearings on the motor or the spindle but if you do, our bearing department is located on the 2nd floor, they'll be glad to help you over there!
Bottom line, were it I, I'd get the proper belt number. Maybe the numbers you said were stamped in the hood or match up the existing belt.
It shouldn't be a problem. good luck
