Here’s you video Lou,....🤣🤣🤣.....

          This is a test on the rollers to set the belt tension, and check the smoothness of the drivetrain,....I did add shims to the gearbox tonight....there’s a lot of shaft walk from the factory, the lost motion was really noticeable........the motor would turn the shaft, but going from forward to reverse, you could watch the shaft screw in and out before it turned a driver.....Pittman motor shims were a perfect fit for the shaft end play,..those of you that own these, check that shaft end play,....I settled on a total of .003......this still lets the shaft “float” on the bearings, but removes virtually all the lost motion,.....note on the video, I don’t have the belt retainer ring on the end of the cog pulley as I’m still optimizing belt tension,.....
