Mike I inspect the belts and hoses and change the oil and filters after
every longer trip and several times during the summer. then its easy to
check the belt tension with the Kriket which I believe has an advantage
over the old ruler and scale. Its small and you can very quickly push at
the center of each belt and get a readout. Once you use a kriket you will
throw away the ruler and scale. By the way where can you buy a scale?
