I swept my yard and some heavy wet grass from next door for my garden with no problems! Thanks George!

I did buy a 3/8" 3L belt from tractor supply the other day, I guessed on length and got lucky. The belt fits and seem to work right although I did not sweep grass with it. For $5 I'll hang it in the shed incase the fix doesn't last.

Wow Bill, that sounds like something McGiver would do. Nice fix and great suggestion Georg !!! Your neighbors probably smelled something funky cooking, though.
Glad you are up and running again.
