Huntley Montana | Belt is not that "odd sized" I'd bet you can find 1 that would make it to where the 2 sheeves are within inches of each other, I'd want 1-2' apart. It's just a large V belt. That perkins is more HP than 540 pto is "sposta " take, so you could idle it some down from 2000 rpm. Could spend the $$$ & get a ROCKFORD clutch for the perkins & then use a set of jack shafts, belts, & pullys (3.5 to 1 would be close) to get to 540 rpm for the blower. I think if you google ROCKFORD CLUTCHS you'll find a bunch of supplyers. I got 1 out of Canada yrs ago cheaper than the states. Call them all, some have prices 1/2 of the others.
You might look that old gleaner over closer, It might have a ROCKFORD clutch down stairs that might bolt onto the perkins. I rember changing a clutch 30 yrs ago on a old C2. Don't rember too much about it, but it had some simalarties to a Rockford. But if you could find a shorter belt that would give you a clutch for starting the engine. Let the blower spin as the engine is warming up/cooling down. I'm not sure the blower would be much of a drag when starting the engine.
I'm a cheapskate, hate to $pend a lot of money on certian things.
