^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As I mentioned, I bought a bushel of belts at a flea market, and they were
just a tad short for the HF tool. It's been quite a while, so I am trying
to remember exactly what I did. To install a belt, you have to compress a
spring to bring the nose roller closer to the drive roller. I ground off
something (wish I could remember) to increase the travel, and got it so the
belts would slip on with a little difficulty.
