Niels, I will send but like I explained to Heinrich, my documents are very large in size as they were produced just for my own personal use therefore the photographs are data large in size and therefore will have to be compressed somewhat in order to send you them as a mail.

I am off work in a few days so please just give me a little time to modify the originals, then I will be able to send them to you and a few other forum members that have requested a copy.

Please PM your e mail Niels, so I can e mail it to you come the time thanks.

Never a problem Niels, you're more than welcome! [Wink]

As a tip, the Bauer main drive belt is quite a tricky operation to carry out as well as being quite time consuming, therefore as a tip try to fit two belts onto the shaft at the same time.

Use one belt for purpose and just wrap the second belt several times on the shaft leaving it hanging free from any rotating parts. Anchor it against the frame and tie it up in several places as well as against itself close to the pulley by using the smallest of cable ties.

This way the second time the job has to be carried out, the belt is already close by in situ and makes fitting the second time around, a doddle!

Obviously after two belt changes the whole process has to start all over again with a virtual shaft removal, but at least this way you ought to get a minimum of five years between shaft removals.

Be extremely careful to get the axial position of the shaft exactly in the same place as it came from or else a full claw penetration set up will be required.

You have been warned! lol.
