Members GaryNunn Posted May 16, 2015 Members Report Posted May 16, 2015 I installed a speed reducer and adjusted the tension on the belts, but I'm finding that the belt between the motor and the speed reducer slips quite a bit. The speed reducer has a baked on epoxy paint. I was thinking about sanding the paint off of the pulley where the belt touches, but thought I would ask if anyone has any slick tricks to try before I do that. If I go any tighter on the belt tension, I'm afraid I'll burn out the bearings. Gary Quote
Hennessy Posted May 16, 2015 Report Posted May 16, 2015 i have used rosin, bar saddle soap even bees wax to get a grip it wont last but holds fairly long Quote
Members gottaknow Posted May 17, 2015 Members Report Posted May 17, 2015 Go to any auto parts store and ask for belt dressing. I prefer the stick variety over the spray. It's a lot less messy and lasts a long time. Regards, Eric Quote
