Re: (ET) E-15 pulley removal -> drive belt modifications

[Andrew Poush <agp vt edu>]

Interesting feedback again. Seems like if only one belt slips then it may 
not really matter. Perhaps I should just retension the tighter of the two 
belts and disregard any slipping of the other one. As long as both belts 
are not slipping then I can just choose not to be bothered by it. Of 
course that brings up another question: 

How often do you guys retension (or check the tension of) your belts? (Esp 
Chris and anyone else running V-belts for many years)

I agree.  I run two notched belts.  The only time I slip is when I back 
into deep snow.  I put the tractor into low low for 6 feet and I am good 
to go.
