Broke a blade today.  Nothing new.  But where did the drive-side B57 belt go?  Found it on the idle side.  Cut slick as a gut!  Good idea to have a new one available.  If not, better keep an old one that will still work.

 

Arrow points to cut in belt.  I've had a lot of things happen but this was the first time the belt went around to the other side!

I have had them cut through, but surely the prize goes to your traveling belt.  You just never know what will happen next.   :-\

There is much that I need to do, more that I want to do, and less that I can do.

Never allow your "need" to make money to exceed your "desire" to provide quality service.

Did the belt break first and toss off the band?

Real sure the blade broke then cut the belt.

I had a belt break and get jammed up in behind the top guard.  Needed to use a screwdriver to pry it out.

BIBBY, is that the first time that's happened to you? I've never heard of it, but it'll probably happen to me sooner or later.

Yep, first time a belt has been cut completely through and traveled over to the other side.
