In your first post, you mentoned you tightened the belt, then tightened the 4 bolts.
The bolts are to always be tight.---
The plate that the gear box is bolted too, should slide freely up /down with the bolts tight, as there are spacers around the bolts that allow the plate to slide in the bolt slots .
That way when you are working the thrower, and have a need to tighten the belt, you need only to turn the adjustment.
Sometimes the spacers get lost or damaged and tightening the bolts binds the plate, if this is the case,inspect and repair.
And replace the belt with a quality belt, not a fractonal horsepower hardware belt, they are not designed for that kind of load.
they are a rubber-band @ best.
Yes, they will do in a pinch, to get you finished for the day, till you can get a good belt.
