Thanks for your response- as I showed in my posts the used belt and the new belt did not match up with the sprockets the same. I think that the old belt had stretched.... by about an eighth of a tooth or so- that is all I had to push the new belt over for  the tooth to fall down into the sprocket. It wasn't off very much- but it was definately off. Do the belts from different manufaturers come slightly different? Or are they all to a certain spec and if they don't fit right on is something else off?  I took flak on the other forum for using the pliers to push the belt over to get the right tension- As per my drawing post I wrapped electrical tape around the pliers first and I don't think I did anything that would hurt thr belt...Kirk</blockquote>
