Remember my old friend the alternator?

If you have been reading from the beginning you will know I have a hate-hate relationship with my new alternator (see August 26th post for some background).  The repair we had done in Spanish, Ontario 4 months ago finally failed us.  We just got complacent and stopped checking on it frequently.  If we had kept up with the checks we would have noticed when it first started to come loose and likely not had the problems.

Lucky for me my Dad came for Christmas and we got a chance to make a few modifications which should reduce the vibration.  I also adjusted the idle speed to an RPM that results in less shaking. Hopefully with these changes and with regular checks that everything is solid and our most recent weld is holding we should be OK.

The TowboatUS membership was worth every penny!

Is the belt supposed to do this?
