I have just purchased a older Mark V and am new to Shopsmith. When I adjust the tension on the bandsaw the tension on the wheel changes but no change is shown on the indicator scale. What might be the issue?

B4 and after pix might be a clue.

Give this old thread a read, it is about bearings but explains pretty much what your asking in the process, has some good pics, closeups etc...
