I just recently put a link belt on my contractors saw and was doing
some misc tune-up when I noticed a fairly perceptible misalignment in
the arbor to motor pulley.

The weight of the motor on the opposite side of the pulley is causing
torque, which in turn causes the pulley side to flare out at a slight
angle.

When I lift the motor to relieve tension, the pulleys come into
alignment and I can see the mounting bracket adjust accordingly.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
