What type, size, and a number of classical V-belts is recommended for this system.  The motor is rated at 3 Hp, VFD controlled and runs at 1750 rpm under load.  The output speed required is 1075 rpm.  The application is a saw that cuts wood and the environment is dusty. Target center distance is 18 inches, but 16 to 20 inches is acceptable.  Due to clearance constraints, the driven pulley may not be larger than 6 ½ in.  The motor will slide to adjust tension. 8 hours service per day.
