Thanks for the replies....

1st...Belts are $10-$15, but I did not realize that it's that easy to change. Any special tools needed? How long would it take a novice?

2nd...Chalk against the underside of the bel as it spins? Sounds dangerous unless they sell long sticks of chalk....that sucker spins ya know

I will research the MB Cd for changing the drive belt,

Thanks again,
