Jeff, I have a brand new 69.0" Gatorback, unused, if you want it. It does me no good, as I have a 4# lower.

Holler if you want it.

Jeff..........

Hope you got that belt problem straightnen out. But if your having any belt slipage, which you probably are, move up to an extra idler pulley. It gives you an extra couple degree's of belt wrap on the blower pulley, which in turns makes your blower work harder. Magnum and Metco have systems out for our trucks. I went with the Magnum setup, because it wraps the belt from the direction the belts spin. The Metco wraps from the opposite side, which I think, works the wrong way. Just makes sense to me, anyway. Any questions, ask away by way of the e-mail service here
