Hi, does anyone know where I can find a belt for the Hoover Model 70, belt number or what the dimensions are?

I have heard the modern ones are low quality.

Thanks for the reply, ah20075 are flat belts and the 0044783ag are plastic.
Hoover convertible Model 70 was made in 1963-65 so it is hard to find a belt.
I wish I knew the dimensions.

I hope you can find one.

For household models, the individual part number is 049258AG. The retail two-pack is 40201048 (also labeled as a "Type 48" belt)

044783AG (AH20075 as a two-pack) is the belt for industrial uprights. This has the same dimensional fit, but uses a different rubber compound that is supposed to be better suited to heavy commercial use. But the industrial belt should work fine in a household cleaner.

I personally do not trust Amazon to supply genuine parts. Amazon warehouses often mix up stock from different suppliers. I can sometimes find genuine Hoover household Type 48 belts at local Ace hardware stores, but generally I have to get them from a vacuum shop.

Can you go to a vac shop and just try some different belts? I have done that on occasion with power nozzles for which belts are long out of production.

Tfhat is another good idea.
