Default Re: 8BA Flathead fan belt widths

One thing that hasn't been brought up is the '50-'53 left and right narrow belt pump pulleys are not the same diameter, and must match the cast iron crank pulley with the two different diameter sheaves, to have the pumps run at the same rpm. I have never found the reason(s) for the narrow belt crank pulley design, but guess it was to alter the fan and/or generator rpms.
