is there any dirt building up on the share frame? It dos build up on there and will stop the web in it's tracks. There might be a load of dirt at the front of the web where it goes around the front idlers.

 

[grumpy]

doesnt seem to be much dirt in the shares,it stops at the slightest thing.the old continetal never had any problems like this.wondered if the second bottom drive roller was worn and could be regrooved with the grinder?

had another go today seemed go better today

if it is slipping because the drive roller is worn, you are better off replacing it. I tried to cut the rollers of a Mustang trash conveyor roller with the proper heating cutting tool and is was a nightmare.

Mine slips more with the 55mm web than the 35mm. Less web bars to grip of I guess.
