Used 1 for several years . Had to make a couple mods to make it run better. Will post pics if I can find them

Can't locate the pics.
I took a 1/8 x 1 bar about 30 inches long. I bent a angle that you could clamp to the left side of the motor with a dryer hose clamp and the other end goes to the upright shat just below the tracking assembly. This stops side to side wobble.
I added a spring from the tracking assem to the base of the unit to put mors pressue or tighten the belt.
Wrap some elec tape around the center of the upper wheel.
You can make a lot of knives on a Gris. Good luck
TJ
