Re: Atlas MFC knee quesitons.
They only have the 1/2" link belt. It's up to nearly $40 for a 4' (IIRC) length. Checked, it's $34.99 for 5'. I got the 3L belt from Enco years ago. Amazon has it, too, in various lengths.

Re: Atlass MFC knee quesitons.
On the question about raising the knee I've always felt that the effort to raise it was out of proportion to its weight. One of my future projects is to figure out why. I have a friend with one I need

Re: Atlass MFC knee quesitons.
Removing the spindle is not a trivial task. I rebuilt mine with new bearings and a slightly modified spindle to better retain the pulleys which were always coming loose even when I gronked on them

Motor Belt: L3-125
Spindle Belt: M1-85S
The motor pulley is either 9-428 (1/2" motor shaft) or 10-428 (5/8"motor shaft).
