I broke my belt last night when the tool dug in. Here is some information I've gathered from places like CNC Zone, Steve Bedair's site, etc.
=============================================================
The small drive belt is made by Gates.
The two sizes for the lathe are 5M710 or 5M730.
5M710 = 28.00 inches
5M730 = 28.70 inches
My harbor freight lathe came with a 5M710 but I've read in another post that the 5M730 will work on it too.
=============================================================
The cheapest place I've located is LIMCT price($5.78 US):

There are several other places to get them online such as Wholesale Tool.

==============================================================
I got them locally for $13.00 each at Motion Industries. They have quite a few locations around the country.
