Engine Belts

The belts were all noisy but in good shape

I decided to buy a set of engine belts from the local shop, since I didn’t buy any online (not knowing how the engine was set up)

Now that I know there is A/C, etc I know which belts to buy
4 belts ($21, $29, $20 & $22 = $92 total)

I decided to keep the new ones in the parts bin, and wait till the existing belts wear out, since they look pretty good still
