I fitted the new spindle on the mower today. It certainly reduces the vibration but the belt still sounds as though it is slipping slightly and is warm to touch when I ran it at half throttle with no load.

These pictures are taken of the belt whilst under tension. To me it looks too loose judging by the way it bulges out near each pulley.
