It looks like a v-belt. Timing belts have teeth.
to my untrained eye it looks in ok condition, grab tons of rust remover (evaporust) and scotchbright and start cleaning it up.

The belt you are wondering about is an adjustable belt often used where the exact length is not known or where installing a normal belt is a pain in the a** (like my Atlas Lathe where I have to disassemble the headstock and the jack-shaft in order to install a normal belt).
Over 10K? Fancy!
Thanks for the super fancy contest! :)
They do make official Belt Extenders; adds another whole length of belt at its longest point.
Please keep this updated I really want to see how it all turns out. Looks like the start of a great project. I am interested to see how changing the motor mount works out.
If you have not done it already get a Power Twist V Belt. It really does make a difference on these old saws. Also when you change the motor position you can easily lengthen or shorten the belt as needed to accommodate the new position.
It's possible that the belt won't be easy to replace because you may have to take a bearing and/or housing apart to get the old one out.
YOu can get segmented belts that click together link by link.

Look up the correct size.
You can get an extension that fits onto the belt. Costs about $20 on Amazon (link, but I believe they work for any driver.
