    Setting belt tension with a Belt Tension Gauge TM 9-2320-280-2

    Hi Guys I was reading TM 9-2320-280-2, section 3-82, on adjusting the drivebelts. The text says to use a Belt Tension Gauge, but only gives a deflection force (90 +- 5lbs for a used belt), not any deflection distance. Am I missing something? Be grateful for any help. Regards, Sarah
