Re: Humpbacks
I've got the exact same problem, in about the same time period. I have them on about half of my machines, and I know at least three pair that are goners, not to mention the five I've already replaced. Doesn't help you much, but at least you're not alone.My mom always said there was one crazy person on every bus,... but I could never find him.

Scotty,
Sorry for your delimma, but it's my understanding from another source that this belt is replaced free of charge. BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!! Check with the distributor and see what they say. (GOOD LUCK)
If you want your picture posted, send it to me and when I get my computer nerd rounded up, he will post it. I'll E mail my addredss.

Re: Humpbacks
Jerry is right on the money. If the humpback is put in correctly and adjusted properly, they run fantastic and have no problems. I just saw one doing some service work that they did not disconnect the ratchet or install the new lift brackets or ball rings. The belt was tore to bits.......as it should have been.

Re: Humpbacks
Craig, I am told that the belt you received was one of a batch that had a problem in the moulding process. Your free replacement belt is on its way.

Re: Humpbacks
I still have four original white belts still running strong. These have been moved around a bit to lanes where I had problems with the black ones and they are still going. So I dont think instalation was a problem for the black ones failing. I have even moved the white belts to other lifts that were converted to see if the problem was with the lift itself. I keep going back to the belt. I had two of the belts with the teeth next to the v and they both have blown out. I was also told that there was a problem with the molding ,curing process. I really hope it gets straightened out.

Re: Humpbacks
do they still make the white one you guys are talking about and if so where can i get them seems to me that they are the ones i need i really like the humpback belt it does eleminate some problems but they just havent lasted long enough for us.
almost forgot the company that i talked to said that the belt its going to be replaced but not for free but for $95.00 so im trying again. better than $270
