[QUOTE="Local Knowledge, post: 629397, member: 4140"] Thank you all for your great suggestions, The pulleys on the Trommel appear to be OK (I agree it is difficult to tell from the photo) and tensional adjustments are still within normal limits: although I note that both belts are well coated in dust/dirt secondary to both long-standing storage and use. The Trommel is usually stored in an old earthen floored squatters hut (circa 1940s). I think the unit has just worn out over time. I will now get the worm drive/seals formally reviewed and replace the belt drives. Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone. Cheers De [/QUOTE]
