In regards to belts, I can't recollect any of my 22 truck mounts ever being a joyous procedure in maintaining or replacing of them..

If I could do it over again I would get one of these coupler designs that can be changed out in a matter of minutes and just do it once a year or be ready to do so if and when it fails on site
I’m still waiting on reliable feedback on those Sammy Sales units.

The only area where belts are mentioned is routine maintenance checklists where it says the check the water pump belt for wear, and then replace the water pump belt every 300 hours, and to check the blower belt for wear. No how-to's on anything for either of the belts. I sense that they think I know how, or can bring it to someone who does.

I'll do some more searching for video assistance later today, but if I can't find anything I'll just have to go for it and hope I don't make things worse in the process.
300 hours seems to not be very long for pump belts???? The one i have on frankinstien has been on since new 2.5years and just over 1,300 hours . With my blower, i tried 3 different belts just to see how long they would last, standard v belts 110 hours , kevlar belt 11hours, cogged belts 1,231 so far and still in good shape inspected every 100 hours. I don't know much about the geared belt driving your blower but there should be away to adjust them. All the blowers ive had run v belts. Im going down to see my supplier today(yes sunday) and drop off my rx20 nexgen gearbox. The small pinion gear snappedinhalf( hopefully he can badger hydramaster into repairing or replacing it)hes a close friend and has installed/ and works on hydramaster's for many years ill ask about your blower belt and let you know what he says
