snapped drive belt. seeking replacement

I have created a belt and put it on. After that I have cleaned it with water and sponge and also compressed air. It works fine now, although I have planned to complete all the required maintenance as should be outlined in the manual. I will also try and determine what all parts do in the rolled-up tool pouch.<br>
Although other people are trying different ways to get one, I went and got a quote from a company that makes belts on customer specification. The quote is [only] valid for 3 PCs, that is the number I requested; then it comes to 12,40 per belt, which equals some 51 euros including tax and shipping. I would say go for it, because I don't think the welding of belts without specialized equipment will be very successful in this high torque, high strain environment. 51 euros for 3 belts is not a steal, but it comes close. It is thankfully less than I anticipated. [[User:Ultratux|Ultratux]] 02:20, 3 January 2013 (CET)
