Ken,
I do believe. I spent hours and hours, over several frustrating
days until I got mine close enough to objectively leave alone. The
only thing I hate more than pry bar adjustments is hammer
adjustments :-)

Ken,
The belt always going to the same side sounds like the motor
shaft
is
not exactly parallel to the countershaft. On the 7x10 group,
J.W.
Early posted a hinged motor mount mod. that makes alignment
easier.
IIRC, it was within the last month or so.

Hi Roy,
That certainly is a comprehensive web site. Thanks for pointing
me
to it!
My belt doesn't 'walk' really . I centre it and by the time its
done a half
turn, it is already at the side, it then just stays there,
whether
you
reverse or not. It will be interesting to see what happens when
I
get some
spares to try.
