Thinking over the speed thing.
I found a larger pulley that would slow down the jackshaft speed. Need to get a belt.
I did check out the tension on the original belt and I probably had 1” or so of easy play on each side of the belt. Not a lot of tension. In fact when the VFD break engages the belts slipped.
If this does not work then I really struggle to see how to reconfigure the motor and keep the stock jackshaft arrangement with the belt tensioner/swapping system. I know I do not need that any more with the VFD. Wonder if Direct drive may be better but I fear loosing low end torque.
