0 Unfortunately, I don't think these belts are made anymore. There are some for sale on Ebay -- some new some used, but the prices are a bit high for my taste. But you can buy them there. Some claim that the Gates 240J4 is the same belt, but it is not, and it won't work. Here's why: The HB-B301 belt is exactly .25 (1/4) inches wide and has 4 ribs. This means that the pitch -- the measurement between each rib -- is 1/16 (.0625) inches. The Gates 240J4 belt has a pitch of .092 inches, with 4 ribs, which makes this belt 4 X .092 = 0.368 inches, which makes it roughly 3/8 of an inch wide. It will not fit -- it is too wide. The spindle on the motor can only accept a belt that is at most 1/4 inch wide. Besides -- the pitch is wrong. I looked on the Gates web site (as well as other belt manufacturers), and none of them makes a v-belt with a pitch this small. I guess Ebay is the only answer.
