    Had my belt chewed up because of a loose pulley. Going to be picking up another Gates tomorrow.

    Lol Gates are in stock, nobody carries Gatorbacks around here. Also the G-backs have a ton of mixed reviews. They're either awesome or ****e

    Sounds like to just need to order 2 gatorbacks and be done with it.

    Gatorback is the only way.. Neither me or my dad have had such great luck with a belt or any part for that matter..
