Well, issue resolved - but, due to time constraints, I can't say what did it. I did the following:
- put a 2nd shim in as the gap between driven and driving hubs/disks was .050 with the manual stating it should be .060-.090. Only one shim came out when I disassembled but who knows...
- flipped belt over. Since it had already been in use, someone suggested it might have a memory.
- reinstalled the outer plate and did not torque the nuts down as much. I had gapped it the first time around and thought I had it right - but figured I'd give it a shot. I'll now work them down incrementally until back into spec or have an issue. This isn't hard as it might be as I haven't reinstalled the nose piece and hood yet.
Matt, thanks for the advice on when to/not turn PTO on and off. I didn't know.
