I need a belt for a Kirby 519, which one do I get and where can I get it? I'm assuming I need a gray belt and the generation black belts won't work on it. | ||

You are correct You will want to get the older gray Kirby belt. The newer Knurled belt will be too tight for the bearings on the brush roll if you have the older sleeve type bearing. It will probably be easier on the older machines motor bearings as well. | ||

Grey belts... Grey belts are no longer made. They have been re-engineered and are now called soft black. They are readily available at vac shops or least should be! | ||

Gray Belts Thank you for the information. I still have a drawer full of them, so not aware they had been changed.
What about the Royal Metal machines. They used to use the Kirby gray belt, and when Kirby went to the black belt they still used the softer belt material. | ||

Ben you are correct... but the old belt is still available the last time I checked with my vendor. | ||
