One tough Wednesday on the farm!

What happens here

With the new belt successfully routed around all pulleys, the presenter focuses on the final critical step: fully seating the belt and re-engaging the tensioner. He emphasizes the tight working conditions and the need for precision. Using the long flat-head screwdriver for leverage, he maneuvers the belt to ensure it is perfectly seated within all the pulley grooves. Though not explicitly shown due to video cuts, the tension pin (removed in Step 2) would then be re-inserted to apply the correct tension to the belt, completing the installation and preparing the equipment for operation.

Goal: Secure the new belt and apply correct tension.
