Hello Welder. The belt sizes for the Hercus are: Motor to countershaft A-51 and Spindle to countershaft a-35.
I ended up getting FENNER link belts from US @ around 1/2 the price of buying here in AU. They also get rid of vibration that I had in my setup, plus you do not have to take apart the spindle to replace the belt.
I did the same with my RF-30 and it made a BIG difference to the vibration I was getting from the motor.

Fenner Belts
I'm not sure at the moment, of the length I bought for the RF-30. I think it was about 7feet in length for the two belts... better a bit too much than too little. They are A3 in size.
the eBay seller is:
' - ohioblademan''s Store - Home & Garden'
And the belt is:
Power Twist Plus Link V-belt 5/8" B 1ft FENNER DRIVE | eBay
Tell him the size you want and he will send you an invoice including postage which is pretty cheap. The parcel arrived in about a week I think.
