I went through the throw away the belt that this is replacing this is a half by
sixty the other belt was brand new and we've used it probably a total of this
this by the way is that lawn mower that I bought for 100 bucks and fixed and I
probably use it a total of two hours and it had wore the half-inch belt down to a
quarter inch and it was slipping when you turn to belt on when you pull the
PTO switch and cut the belt on it would take forever excuse me I'm hiccuping
okay I'm burping inside there were inside burps I didn't let him out I'm
not disgusting well I am but not on camera
anyway you pull the PTO switch into the blades would slip and then they would
eventually you know come up to full speed and I got online I read that the
spring that pose see this spring here what it does is pull on this and puts
tension on the belt so these blades these two blades don't slip and I went
and got another spring that was shorter and I sort of altered it with a torch
and REE bent the ends and I'm just going to have the original spring on the
additional spring we'll see how that works and now I got to get under there
and see what it is that has wore the other belt that this is replacing a way
to quarter inch so let me get on my back and we'll look up under there well I
already see it the belt goes around here and then around that goes around the
backside of this and then this and then down to the spindle on the lower deck
well you can see where it's hitting it's not even rubbing on the bottom at all
and there's no angle let me see if this Wiggles are moves
where do you come from okay right there
hmm
I don't know maybe it's just a fluke and it was a cheap belt and I'm gonna put
this back together and put that belt back on and have a look and I may have
to put a wider something with a wider flange on it that come down about here
they're all fairly similar
let's see let me get together okay here's the way this belt runs and you
see the way the belt comes off that pulley it got a really steep angle and I
even chipped the belt schematics to make sure I had this one right
well it's eating itself up on the edge of this pulley when you've got the deck
loaded okay raise the deck a little under my love okay right there it's
perfect remove this other way so you can see it
that's a perfect angle what nobody moves that I would eat what number are you are
you all the way up you lower it down like - you wouldn't
okay well let's see what I may not I may leave that pulley the way it is and
we'll just see and if it eats this belt up what I need to do is buy a pulley
with wider flanges that will accommodate the steeper angle of the pelvis so
anyway prop problems not solved but at least I know what's causing the belt to
get aid in it yeah what did you just say before I cut the thing off did you hear
that she said I'll bet Terrell could fix this
Terrell fixes all and this is my shop and she's talking like that
fix us all a bit and then you've been text Hillman hey yeah well uh it appears
to work just fine as long you don't drop the depth down to its lowest setting
I fixed it no thanks to Terrell
yeah that's the hundred dollar landlord
some people ask me how I get my wife
bacon this is that coffee pot that I did a review on the other day I liked
everything about it except this there's no little tab this is where the water
goes so you have to take this off to put water in and there's nothing to grab it
by so basically you have to get a fingernail under here and lift it off so
I'm gonna do something about that and now I'm in my jammies still but uh I'm
fixing to go to my shop and do something about this right now
there you go these are the knobs you know the little wood gas stoves I make
where they come with these knobs in the box that I buy the canisters in and
really I don't have any need for the knobs but I just keep them anyway so
let's go see if this is gonna work yeah looks like it was made for it okay
let's drink some coffee shall we
