picked up this 9in southbend off craigslist about 7 months back, leather belt that was with it failed shortly after purchase. i purchased a replacement synthetic belt from
hit & miss enterprises a while back, and it kinda doesnt work very well. the alligator lacing they installed for me is crooked and the belt falls off unless i keep it in the
slowest of the three pulley combinations. and i think supposedly the belt is meant to be a little narrower than the pulley flat, but this one is actually a full inch wide.
i know that i can get a real leather belt from mcmaster carr and try to glue it or figure out how to lace it properly, but i was
kinda hoping to just get one with some kind of alligator type lacing so as to not have to cut it or disassemble the spindle to get it off.
thanks all.
