Thread: can I shorten my blower pulley from 3 1/2" wide to 3" wide???

....Thanks Pat & Jerry, ok I'll grind off 3/8 of an inch. I have to see where the belt is going to track it? What's that mean? ....Humm, don't like the look of the 2" belts but I can trim mine a little if necessary? That's an option then. Starter? I don't understand! Bill

it would be better to cut it on a mill or a lathe start at 1/4 .i think jerry had a top fuel flash back

when the belt runs it will find a center or were it will track if the pully was flange it will keep it on the pulley but if not set up right it will edge load the belt
