Belt broke on blower on V today finished the job on two. Have new set in hand got the other bad belts off. Is there an easier way to get these bad boys back on? Tensioner is neutral, trying to work these tight boys over one grove at a time but struggling, wondered how u guys do it.
Thanks, tring to get new ones on before tonight if possible

I think I figured it out. Trying to go over pump groves from top, figured to bypass them, and work them over from bottom.

I could smell belts really bad when we where at the library... thats why I mentioned GREEN belts

Yeah I should have changed them last winter, buy I don't like the cold weather. I just told my tech last week I needed to change them soon.
