    Crafstman BT300 "copy"

    Greetings,
    I have a Craftsman saw based on the Ryobi saw so when my drive belts burned up, I took it apart and order the Ryobi/Sears belts
    from Amazon and got the in a few days. My problem is that neither the Ryobi nor Sears documentation addresses reassembly. Except for the belts, everything looks like new after cleanup. Does anyone have any advise on doing the reassembly - nothing is available on YouTube that I could find. The documentation I have sucks! One note says it takes an experienced tech about an hour but one of us Neanderthals from Chloride Arizona will require two weeks or more.

    I've ordered a second set of belts since they are inexpensive. I miss my saw so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

      One suggestion on that article - he says use a 19mm socket, well the arbor nut is a 3/4" nut actually so 3/4" is a better fit but 19mm will work, too.

      Don't go out and buy a 19mm if you only have SAE!
