The Blade is mounted on the opposite side from the belts
and the shaft is held in place by two flange bearings.

These bearings reduce the shaft vibration, decreasing
damage to the machine while cutting.

A sealed engine breather with attached hose has also been
added, maintaining the engine free of most cutting debris.

Belt changes on this machine are QUICK & EASY taking only a few minutes.

The twin B-Style, V-belts are accessed through a hinged side panel

An idler pulley removed the need to loosen the shaft bearings and engine when changing belts.

This also acts to maintain belt tension, increasing belt life.
