I'd be inclined to bore to suit a new (stepped ?) pin, made of something reasonably wear resistant, and use one of the high strength retainers, like Loctite 638, or maybe a slower curing one if you prefer.

Tony at Lathes.co.uk used to supply belts for them, but they were quite expensive; don't seem to be listed now, but see the section on Betalon belts

edit, just seen the post above mine. I clearly wasn't looking hard enough; I'm sure there used to be a link on Tony's normal belts page.

My problem was hubris and a bargain, plus not wanting to get too close to the saw when I bought it. The mains lead was so hardened and cracked there was a couple of inches of bare conductor sticking out of the motor.

When I saw it running smoothly I snapped up the bargain, didn't think to check how loose the slides were.

People have used polyvee belts running on the back.

Never leave a Kennedy unattended in case it jams.

Adrian,

back in the day you could get stepped piston rings to avoid the wear ridge in an engine bore. In the same way if you remove the top slider and file a relief on each end you can avoid the wear ridge in the bow. Worked on my 90

Oil it each time you use it.

As I found out to my cost many years ago and the motor pulley slipping on the belt virtually 'burnt' it's way through the belt. The belt was ruined as you can imagine.
