I have both the clementine mine and the Purina Chows grain elevator and am wondering if anyone would know what a good replacement for the conveyor belt would be. mine are dry rotted and in disrepair. If anyone has any ideas and sources please let me know.

That's going to be a tough search. Mine was new in the box and had a great belt but the gears had cracked just from sitting. I finally had to modify other gears to work.
The belt is notched inside, much like a car's timing belt, to reduce slippage. You might be able to make a suitable belt from sheet rubber stock or something, certainly worth playing with.

yeah I figured out how the belt is attached to the conveyor. The front roller just snaps off of the conveyor belt frame and the frame also snaps off the back of it. I'll try the sheet rock rubber belt if that will work. Let me know if you have any other ideas or sources for this as I'm trying to repair two of these things.
