Elliot, make sure your drive belt is a 5/8 and not 1/2" or less. The pulleys are made to be able to release the belt out of the notch. A narrower belt does not do the slack thing properly. The 702 should have a 1/2" belt shouldn't it? Garry 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,865 #27 Posted September 8, 2019 Right Garry...1/2"...my mistake. I was going from memory, but I really need a defrag. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,865 #28 Posted September 8, 2019 Elliot, can you post a couple of pictures of you pulleys and belt set up. Maybe you have a pulley out of line or maybe a bad bearing in the tension pulley, or the linkage is not right and loose. Is there a guard on your tension pulley that may be out of line and scraping the belt?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot Garfinkel 166 #29 Posted September 8, 2019 Hi this is with a 1/2 ×71 belt it seems to be the best out of them all.the last 2 pics the clutch is held down. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,865 #30 Posted September 8, 2019 there is your problem...the belt goes under that stud by the input pulley of the trans. The belt guard bottom would have the belt in-between that stud. I have a bolt and a roller on mine...my guard bolts on there. That is OK but the belt goes under that stud. That is where you are chewing up belts. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,865 #33 Posted September 9, 2019 Do not go to 5/8" belts...that was my mistake. You want a 1/2" belt that fits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
