Hey,classiclover, are all pulleys running straight and tru? if not belt,could be bearings not well in water pumps. years ago people used belt dressing on the belts. i believe because the belts left to long running loose too long pulleys would get a glaze. the belt dressing was a pine tar substance. use a auto stethescope to listen to water pump. tom.

do you have the correct belt. pully angle and depth ?
how old is it ?
is it hard, ??
it the belt riding on the bottom of pulley ? maybe causing it to slip, ??
is it a after market belt,
NAPA believe it or not they may have a listing for your 1940
they have the correct belt for my 37 85 hp
BELT DRESSING is a temp fix if at all
my 2 cents 37 Ragtopman , Maine
