For those that would like a little help changing belts try this. I cut a piece off the end of a 2x4 ,4 inches long ,3/4 of and inch width,lock emergency brake, push back seondary towards motor,stick the piece of wood in between secondary sheaves pointed towards primary this will hold the secondary apart then pull up and take belt off,secondary is still blocked open. slide new belt on and pull block out and put it in your tool box. Hope this helps it sure did me.

I'll have to try that. I've gotten 3300 miles out of the belt, it might be time to change it soon.

better yet push the secondary in while pushing down on the belt in the top of the secondary it will wedge itself into the clutch and hold it open untill you slip off the belt no canadian softwood required.

Easier yet, I carry a 12mm wrench in my pocket, use it on one of the three nuts on the secondary turn to tighten and push in. You easily move the sheaves open to release the belt. This works for me ,hope it does for you as well.
