Bill, I agree with you, however the belt appears to be plenty tight. I'll
try to get the original size and style. It has a Gates V belt on it now, but
appears to be pretty narrow and ribbed on top. My guess is that the PO
substituted what he could find.
I checked for bearing noise and there doesn't appear to be any. (broom handle
to the ear trick) I'll research the 216 fan belt angle. Thanks to all who
helped.
