The belts on my toad slip and squeal. They're plenty tight. I notice however, there's rust in the pulleys. Any way to get it our, or is replacement in order? Which will be a PIA cos one is the vibration dampener.

It’s usually wood rosin.

Johnny,
You do know there's spray-on "belt dressing" (apparently some sort of
non-drying glue) available at the parts stores? I've found that it does
work, at least for a while.

Thanks Ken. I got some of that around here someplace, I'll find it and give it a try.
I believe the real problem is, the alternator is a replacement with a double sheave pulley, only one of which has a belt. If I belt the other one, there won't be sufficient wrap on the power steering pump to spin it. I suspect the replaceme4nt alternator is a higher amppere one than originally fitted and a single belt isn't sufficient to spin it under load.

More often than not, if the belt is riding in the bottom of the sheave,
that means one of two things. Sides of the belts are worn out. Or, the
usual culprit is that the sheaves ( pulleys) are worn out. I have taken
them off, and threw them in my glass bead cabinet and roughed up the sides
of the sheaves. Replaced the belts, and belt squeal went away until the
sheaves polished back up. No substitute for replacing sheaves with unworn
ones, though.

Or maybe you just have the wrong belt? To narrow?

If you can slip a 10MM open end wrench over the belt then you have the
"NEWER" style belts that have been reduced in width. They will not work as
well as the old 1/2" wide belts. I have found a number of NAPA belts that
are still the correct width. For alternator belts I use a A56 belt and in
about 3 weeks I will be home and access to my parts book that have belt
numbers that will work. Again these new metric belts ride too low in the
pulley sheave and have very little contact to transmit the needed power.

They're the correct belts, and ride slightly proud in the sheaves. I suspect JimH is correct, rep[lacing the dampener pulley looks to e a colossal PIA. Sigh. As far as I can tell, this engine (300 6) was discontinued before the advent of single multi-rib belts.

You are correct, I had two of the last of the 300-6s and they were still V-belt.
