Dave - from the looks of the drive mechanism, the motor need be moved up
or down. And again from the looks of it, it's a messy job. If you find an
easier way, let me know.

Agreed. I don't know of any other way either. The motor can be shimmed
(washers) some and slid a little back and forth. You have to watch and
make sure the pulley/shiv stays parallel with the other pulleys it
works with too. Lots of fun getting it all tightened back up square with
it squirming around at the same time...
