it's a proprietary Butler blower...which means that is has been machined for the tensioner....
i got it apart..nothing wrong wit it....it was jus stuck from soap

I got FOUR Genies goin'
i don NEED a Butler....the quality is nowhere near a Genie..
not one Stainless part on the whole damn thing

not much of a frame either

stuck from soap?

it must have been someone soaking rentals with purple power.

and put it back together for an econOgenie 45!

if you ever get into the Butler rebuilding game let me know

I'd love to put my 2000 Butler in a brand new van , problem is Butler wants the price of a new machine in LABOR costs for the install :shock:

Ya i HEAR that Butler wants yor first born..
to even BUY parts from them....
I would imagine that the belt tensioner system if different for different vehicles.....
White Magic wants $3500.00 for a front end kit.......

God i love the Genie design.....

lol, I always say that too! My wife corrects me, She says the phrase is "what you talkin about Willis", not Wilson.

Soooo Bob, since you took those pictures 3 months ago, do you have an updated picture of the blower?

I'm just really interested on how that blower looks after you fix it.
