[QUOTE="mandkole, post: 1158895, member: 4630"] Yeah, the 2nd belt would be ideal for the blower drive. Adding the blower (and its horsepower load) on the existing belt will put a lot of load on that one belt-- at moments in the duty cycle, far more tension (than being supported by the current tensioner) will be required. Its very likely that you will kill that belt quickly also. The fleet runner belt is industry leading for what its designed to do, but it still has a polyester tensile cord pack. Its stretches and once its been loaded/accelerated/slip heated a few too many times, it will get pissed off also. If a belt is available that is just 'slightly' shorter, you can wind up the tensioner more and put it in the higher rate of the spring and 'maybe' keep it from slipping. But, we don't usually offer belts in those longer lengths that close together. I'll cross a couple fingers for ya.. [/QUOTE]
