There is no belt in this machine. The brushes are turning by an air driven turbine. The turbine has a pivot bushing made of steel inside of it that gets rusty because of the water that is running through it. The turbine will have to be replaced and they are expensive. Unfortunately, replacing the turbine and not a lasting solution. It will do it again and again. It is designed poorly.
Well first u have to disassemble the top of the steamvac 5 brush agitator, then remove the turbine and open it up to remove the two teeth wheels. Then turn over to open up the turbine part, u will see underneth the steel turbine. Use a hammer and screw driver to hit the steal piece out, then grease it and the inside where it goes. Then slide it thru a couple of time and hammer it back the way it was, then reassemble everthing. (To open means to remove screws then open.)
If you are not looking to buy a new machine and you want to purchase a turbine gear for your machine they are available at the link below. a 30 Turbine is much less expensive than a $200 new machine, Hope this helps.
