I have an old Craftsman (made by King-Seely) bandsaw which I converted to metal working by means of a counter shaft arrangement. It is a three-wheel saw. The wheels are 6" in diameter and the tire width is 3/4". I need replacement tires. I've looked (google, etc.) but can't find any source of rubber/polyurethane/what-not flat belting to use as tires or bandsaw tires that small. Anybody know of a source?

These folks might be able to help:
And this place lists a pair of rubber tires for $29.95. Since you need a pair and a half you might have to dicker with them some:

Also I have a friend that does his own. He used approx. 1/8 rubber glued down with weather strip cement with either a butt joint or a scarf joint. At the lower speed it should work just fine and be much cheaper.

Boris,
I use this stuff to repair bandsaw wheel tires. Works great, and lasts long.

These folks will make up urethane belts to order. Prices are good with a low minimum order...
This outfit makes tires
