Runs great just needs some clean up. The mule drive belt is quite worn and has started jumping off the mover deck fly wheel. the belt on the unit is 1/2 inch by 81 inch but what I have found is that it is supposed to be a 3/8 inch by 80 inch belt. Would that be why it is jumping off? Look forward to restoring this tank.

Welcome! Love pictures here BTW.. You stated the belt is worn and possibly wrong belt. That in itself could be the reason its "jumping off" or, Your tension could be wrong or other issues in mule drive. But if you suspect your belt is wrong I would start there. Also, measure your old belt. If its worn it could also have stretched.
