My new belt arrived so I worked on my FW this weekend. Got her all cleaned up and freshly lubed, put the new belt on, everything is moving so nicely and no nasty surprises. Final thing on the to do list before she goes to work was to adjust the bottom tension; I'd noticed it was completely loose. Figured out why...the tension screw is missing! Dangit, wish I'd noticed that before, now I have to wait for another order to arrive and pay shipping again. For one itty bitty screw. D'oh!
I've resisted so far but starting to really see the benefit of having a few "donor" machines and spare parts around! Come to think of it I should have ordered two screws. "One to use and one to lose," right? LOL At least it was an easy part to find online.
