A question for the Cat experts. I now have both the regular XLS front transmission housing, as well as the Pro Cat version (thanks, Peakey!), with the tension bar. Both use the flanged bearings, and both have the same extra play with the new style diff. So in both cases I'll have to use shims to reduce side to side play, no difference there. But does using the Pro Cat housing make adjusting the belt tension indeed easier, or not? If it does, I'll keep the stock XLS version for the shelf car, and install the Pro Cat version in the runner.
