Question one is are you buying OEM belts or "cheaper" aftermarket belts (which may not have the Kevler cords)? The older RM59"s used a compression spring to tension the belt, later ones used a tension spring. You need to keep proper tension on the belt or it will start bouncing under load and hitting guard and frame parts. Most of the stretch in a new belt is in the first 4-5 hours of operation so you may have to adjust your spring several times till the belt breaks in. Second put new bearings in your idlers, it won"t cost thet much, and you can"t spin them by hand fast enough to see if they"re starting to get a "catch". Just bought the two today for my RM59-3 and it was less than $40.
