Re: 2166 Separator Drive Belt
Check the tighener idler that runs on the back side of the belt. It could be excessively worn, bearing going bad in the idler or the pivot bushings wornout on the idler arm. If the idler is not aligned with the belt 100% it will cause excessive heat and peel the back off the belt. If thats not it start looking at alignment when engaged. Motor mounts could be worn and allowing the engine to twist out of alignment under load. How many hours on the machine?
