Belt Adjuster - QA-36?
 
Replaced a broken chain tensioner, got everything working great this fall.
Finally got enough snow to blow in Cleveland last night.
Worked fine. Blew again this morning, worked fine. Until. . . .

The darn wire I rigged to hold the tensioner let loose. Again.
Pull off gloves, play in the grease zone down there, ugh.
Seems the thing just refuses to want to stay tight.

I can figure how the factory bracket could actually work either.
What's a really good fix for this annoying thing?

Drill a hole in the side of the mount close to the adjuster
Thread it for a 1/4" bolt.
Use a long enough bolt to catch the ear of the adjuster to keep it from going out of adjustment.
run a nut on the bolt, screw it in the mount and and another nut to the back side.
Tighten both nuts against the mount to keep tight.
