No JPG there is no fracture it is deceiving. I think because this is one of the original sand castings the area is just naturally rough. Also, no not a idler bearing coming apart..again deceiving. That is a flat piece of steel that goes from the nut to the top if the idler shaft eccentric bearingJPG wrote:Take another showing the idler sheave and back towards the rear end of the idler shaft. Should show idler sheave, gilmer pulley/belt and casting with retaining clips.
I notice a couple of things(not necessarily related to belt problem).
The casting is fractured and apparently a piece is resting on the quill in the first pix.
The seal material from the idler bearing is coming loose?
