B72 belt change on WoodMizer LT70

[@tommychew6544]

Another good video showing the easier learned way of doing that process correctly. I remember changing my own bike tires and tubes as a kid in the mid to late 70's, nothing would make you more mad at yourself then pinching your tube with one of the screw drivers then having to patch that new tube! You learned to be careful and do it just right.

You Sir are speaking from experience.

@@customsawyer2526 It's lessons learned like that that at a young age while doing anything even slightly mechanical that have been missing in most our Country for over 30 years in most areas that bother me the most. I could write a book on what I think about that, I'll hold back, not the time or the place.

I know that not all belts are created equal. Where do you get the B72s so they're grippy and better longevity? Thank you!

[@customsawyer2526]

I get mine through Applied Industrial. I've never checked Amazon for them but hear some get them there. Just make sure they are flat back belts.

Have you ever considered all steel wheels ? I was wondering about it on my lt40

[@customsawyer2526]

Yes I would like to have all steel wheels. One day I just might.

I'm sure there's a reason. Why do you run a tight belt?

[@customsawyer2526]

I minimizes sawdust getting under the belt. I cut a fair amount of pine logs that has dried some. The sawdust tends to get packed in spots under the belt.
