Let me check when I get home tonight, I think I have one I bought by mistake for my max IV. If I do have it you can have it for the cost of shipping. I'm also in Ontario.

I just went through my old posts and found the belt number, its a 1092M3 Dayco Ultramax belt.Originally Posted by Canadian_Zuk

I've had great luck with buying the 1-1/4" wide belts. It lets them ride higher on the secondary giving more low end. I always ditch the stock rubber motor mounts and add unistrut to get better adjustment and performance too. This gives more choices for length as an added benefit.
I like that unistrut idea. Seems like it would make belt adjustment and replacement so much easier. So no rubber mounts at all, just unistrut to frame and then motor bracket to unistrut? Do you run 2 struts or 4?
I'm running a 40 horse big block Kohler in mine so it just won't be the same......
Using 2 with the stock motor mount plate would be the simplest set up, but I think there's a reason it doesn't slide right in. My memory is failing here, but thinking of how the frame is and how things fit in there you may be better off putting 2 struts side-side perhaps even with a spacer between them and the frame. Then bolt the engine to 2 struts running forward-back. I also like using square washers.
So my Max II I just bought has a dayco max 1080 belt, wrong size? It’s 46-3/16” long!
According to previous posts you have the wrong belt. Dayco HP3003 as stated on the 1st page of this thread seems to be what you want.
What troubles me is the belt I have is longer and it already seems to be trying to advance forward, so a shorter belt will be worse. Guess I need to look at clutches and see what’s up.
Any other ideas for this newbie?

Not sure what is going on with your machine, but keep in mind the driver and the driven clutch on these need periodic maintenance (lubrication). The Dayco HP3003 is the correct belt for my 1995 MaxII with 14hp Kohler, so I would think it should fit yours. I got it for $29.99 free shipping. I would check all the components and make sure they are opening and closing properly. Also make sure the belt has the right tension. Best of luck.
Check your idle, get it 900-1000 rpm.
