grumpy,

You can get after market belts for just about any machine and most of the time they can be fitted. As I posted in my first reply to daniel_l question. Did he have the correct belt fitted because common sense was part of the assessment.

When repairing equipment is not really that hard when you apply common sense and a little bit of knowledge.

The idler pulley needs to ride on the back of the belt in order to create a small loop over the pulley and when it is pushed into the belt it tensions the belt onto the pulley which then engages them all.

It is great when people post pictures here with the problem area in question, because most of the time when you see it, the diagnosis in most cases is usually fairly easy.

Thanks again grumpy for adding information to the topic because we all appreciate members like yourself helping others. cheers2
