entec refurb, drivebelts

[dig-dug-dan]

 

having now fitted the new bearings, and got all the parts back from the powdercoaters, I got as far as fitting the drivebelts, but have hit a snag.

I brought four new ones, but the one that comes off the pulley to the hydraulic pump is very slack, even if I adjust it its going to be too slack. Are all those belts the same size, or should the hydraulic pump one be smaller? I took all the old ones in to the bearing and belt supplier, so I assumed he matched them

There are numbers on it, its the length in mm, check it against the old one but that looks like a cock up to me

I agree. Sadly the old ones are long gone

Put a length of string round the pulleys and measure that for length
