Default Buying Tensionometer & Belt Tension

Anyone have a tool part number/source for a Tensionometer? How much should one cost? I will be putting a call into Kent-Moore in the AM. They aren't answering the phones right now..

What is the normal Belt Tension for a new belt? 120#? Is 120# ok for the pulley bearings? What is everyone's opinion on the Katech Adjustable Tensioner?

Thx!

Ordered mine from Kent Moore:
SPX/Kent-Moore 800-345-2233
p/n BT-33-73F
$110

Going to get a Katech Adjustable Tensioner also. New Goodyear Gatorback set at 120# Tension & sprayed with belt dressing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
