Nice shaper Dallen. Wish I could find one that size around here. My little Logan is usable but that one has some beef to it.
On my sawmill I built an arm with a flat roller on it for a tensioner, it engages the back of the belt. I have another arm (old water pump handle) with a rod to the tensioner arm. The engagement handle goes over centre to tighten the belt.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
