MENGELE SH40 BELT (HELP)

hi
i'm in a bit of a predicament, we have a mengele sh40, it has the wide 2 mtr front on it, and we can't find anyone that has a new flywheel drive-belt,
we have tried all the usual sources, and even mengele germany are saying they do not produce them anymore, also tried the main belt suppliers, they are saying 48 week's delivery time, witch is not exactly going to be in time for the grass this year, we have 2 belts, one is 2 years old, and i changed it as i though it was starting to fray at the edges, i kept it as an emergency spare, the other belt looks ok, but has done 2 pretty hard seasons, hopefully they will last, but from past exsperience they don't give a lot of warning before they shred, i would feel a lot happier if i had a new belt or another good second hand one if that's all i could get.
the belt is a 5 ribs and measures 3630mm around the outside edge. mengele part no 98-036-276- 389
any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

thanks

Unfortunately they didn't, and I tried a few, apparently so I'm told, that belt is not used on very much apart from the mengele....

Our SH40 has the wide front, the lely storm didn't have the wide front, due to it being over width on the road, can't find a longer belt of any use, also not a lot more movement on tensioner roller for a longer belt, I have tried quite a belt people, and due to the profile and length no one seems to have anything matching....

minimum order 6 from optibelt.com
don't know how long or what cost
seeing as its the 2nd thread in a week or so maybe someone would order 6 and sell them on

and get it double pulleyed like
a mate of mine has
over 10000 acre out of 2 belts cut down to 2x4 ribs and pulleys made slightly bigger and he putting 250 through them
just been talking to ian and he has put the bigger pulleys off a storm on . and had belts made by optibelt min order 5 belts as centres of pulleys are different width on chassis
