Re: Gates belt wear tools

That's funny I was servicing my DD yesterday & was looking at the drive belt and thought about that wear tool & just kind of assumed they were not sending them. Now I'll be like a dog waiting at the window for it's master to come home.

That's true... and you don't need laundry facilities if you buy new clothes all the time.

Well if yo have so many how about a picture.

your shop must use that new math that's out there.

1+2+2=5 the way I was learned years ago. j/k

1+2+2 does equal 5. but when you figure in the fact of how flimsy they are and break I now have 4.

Re: Gates belt wear tools

Got mine today. Probably should have used the finger hole 1st time. I got lucky & when I knocked it out of my clumsy awkward fingers it fell all the way through to the ground.

That is funny

Mine came a couple days ago in a small manila mailer, but the return address was Gates Corporation. Mrs Stocker was curious so I opened it & we had show & tell.
