Hey all. Thanks for the ideas. I forgot I had asked my question in here. I took the adjustment assembly off and put it back on and it worked. So I reckon y'alls advice was right and I just got lucky and fixed it before reading the posts.

Last night/early early this morning, I had swapped out a 5/8 blade for a 3/8 on my bandsaw and was adjusting it when I ran into this problem.

The diagram is for a Mark 7. I have a Mark 5. I will try moving the poly belt and see what can be done with aligning ...
