The drive belt idler pulley is attached to a swing arm. The swing arm's plastic bushings were shot. So I made my own bushings out of brass bushings.

The original kevlar drive belt is 1/2 x 102.5.

I ordered a 5/8 x 102.5 kevlar drive belt. The last pic is the transmission pulley. I think there is enough room to use a fatter belt.
Thanks to the person that said check the idler pulley which I had replaced with a steel pulley. The plastic pulley was damaged. Now I know why the plastic pulley had a problem. The pulley was tilted and the old belt got pinched, friction melting the plastic pulley.

I rarely use my atlas lathe, which is my age, and adjustable reams.
I was happy to have them so I could make a special bushing.
 
Thanks.
The best part, it was Free. I had a drawer full of new brass bushings. No idea where I got them from. It only cost me a little lathe time.
 
Any day you want to come on down I have hundreds of those little projects you can enjoy LOL good looking work
 

Chick the splines on the plastic cooling fan . I have had to replace a couple of them . The current fan is staying put due to the application of loctite on the splines .
 
Jerry,
I wouldn't want to deprive you of having all the fun you have piled up or you can bring me some work. I like working in my shop with my tools.
Not very good at house calls.

Nice chat. Hope you are well.
