Belt tensioner update

haydudeMember

Hi everyone,

Has anybody replaced the manual belt AC/Alt tensioner with one that is a spring loaded tensioner from a more modern engine?

Thanks Ken

I have a sanden pump conversion and after some careful belt selection I found enough adjustment available in the adapter mount holes to eliminate the tensioner altogether.

You can't do much better than a 180 degree belt wrap on the pulleys for non-slip performance.

This from IPSCO is not a spring loaded tensioner, but it is a better setup than stock, if you choose to run one.
