I cannot figure out how to adjust the belt tension or change pulley setup.
I see three 19 mm bolts that hold the slotted motor trestle to the headstock casting. I can reach the outboard nut but there is no way I can see to reach the two inboard nuts with any wrench to loosen them to slide the trestle downwards thus increasing the belt tension. I can also see 4 smaller bolts that hold the motor to the trestle but I don't see any slots to change the position with, nor can I reach the inboard nuts.
Thus, I can't figure out how to loosen the belts enough to slide them outboard so I can run the lathe in the 9 higher speeds. I've looked in the "manual", read the FAQ again and searched for an answer. I'm stuck and I must be missing something. I've attached a photo of the mount.
