Pull the spindle, replace leather with a serpntine belt from teh auto
parts place, and get on with never having to do it again. (and if you DO
have to do it again, you will know how!)

Trevor, I'd love to be able to do that. But on this 13" lathe, the
belt runs through slots in the headstock casting. A cut and glued
belt, or spliced, or whatever, is the only kind that works.

Thanks -- Terry
