Hmmmm.... intersting concept. This was my Dad's saw, and I can't remember him ever complaining about this pulley coming loose on him, but he did run it with a v-belt. My brother had it for several years after Dad passed and he upgraded the v-belt to a link belt.

As for it being out of line, that's a real possiblity as the motor is mounted on a rod to allow it to move back and forth. This is necessary as there is also a 4" jointer mounted on the saw stand that is driven by the same motor. Kind of a neat setup in my opinion, take the belt off and move the motor into position to drive the jointer. But, since alignment is done by eye, misalignment is certainly possible.
