    I'll look when I get back in town tonight. I'll PM you either way. Send me a picture of the old hook. They can usually be salvaged, but grinding on the wrong surface will kill them.

    The motor belt on a 221 needs to be just tight enough to work, when properly adjusted it will seem loose. A belt that is too tight will cause the motor to get hot.
