Combines Traction Belt

If old belt is on, speed all way up. If not drive in sharpened 2X4 to spread lower sheaves. IF you can speed up block the sheaves open. Then remove the draw bolt and opposite bolt on the man clutch shaft and remove the outer sheave. Put on belt and reverse the process. Adjust the lower sheave to 1_16" between sheaves at low speed and make sure belt does not ride out of drive sheave. IF you have egg shaped holes in the lower or upper sheaves where the pins go through - big problem. Post back for fix as this means sheaves are 'leaning' and whus will heat and destroy new belt.
