I think I need to replace at least the lower belt on my 135. It spent a long time good and soaked with oil and seems kind of soft and cupped. I don't actually know this is an issue but something is amiss in the system and this seems like a good place to start looking. When the machine runs at higher speeds (basically anything in the high range) the variator starts oscillating back and forth along its rotation axis which is annoying and surely not good for all those new seals I put in there. The other theory is that the motor pulley is not aligned which puts some side load into the system. I did have the motor out but I don't think this is likely as I don't think there is much in the way of adjustment. I have experimented with various belt tensions but this doesn't seem to make much difference.
Also do I need to go to Schaublin for the belt or is there another source?
thanks
