<div> I finally got around to fixing my
loose water pump pulley and installing
a new fan belt. I ordered a 'cogged'
belt from Moss--part#
021-966--thinking it might work better
than the original slab of rubber. I
noticed before installing that it was
narrower than the original type that
I'd had, which had rotted, but it
looked like it would work. Once I
started tensioning it however, it was
clear it <i>might </i>work, but sat
too low in the pulleys, and was
essentially riding on the bottom of
the pulley grooves instead of on the
sides (and the angle of the sides of
the belt was incorrect). Anyone else
tried one of these?<br>
<br>
I'm shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YA', that
a vendor would sell something that
could possibly work, but isn't truly
correct.<br>
