I would have to say yes.
Not bashed to destruction by neglect or stupidity, but showing distress from opperating beyond its design limits.

The quest for mower power, higher rpm and more plate presure and some easier ways to adjust it make me ask.

Those nice Chinese fellows seem to listen to once when I asked a lot of pointed questions. Had a very interesting discussion with the factory that provided the parts BMI and others are still selling when comet went under.

Maybe if I can convince them we need a 40 belt on a beefed up 20 series symetrical design.

Have you ever seena 340 series comet?
Thats a good adjustable clutch that uses a 20 series belt.

But its limited to an 8 hp rating.
Now what if the Chinese would make an improved version with a stronger belt?

Now a new Chinese 40 driver is 80 dollars, and the driven is about the same.
So maybe they could be convinced to make an all around better stronger unit that sells in the 150 dollar range.

Game changer for guys with higher power engines like me.
