I had a similar problem once. I used the bet that came with the
surplus/salvage thing-a-ma-bob and it was a tooth count I could not
find elswhere at that time.

I wound up changing pullies until I got a belt size that fit my
adjustment ratio.

I really wished I could have found a 13 to 26 tooth pulley for the
1/2-13 threaded rod I used.

Of course, I swapped out the NEMA23's for NEMA34's and had to make
all new plates.
