Went down to troubleshoot reported beeping, unable to recreate the problem. Thought we might as well change the belts and fuel filter, but got thwarted by the alternator not moving enough to get the belt off, and then couldn't put it back right because screw was stripping. Really really glad Tom was there or I'm sure I would not have even figured out what the problem was. Took it offline until Tom can get a new screw, but we still need to change the belts and stuff. I think we have the right v belt but the other one looks too long and now I can't remember how we decided that was the right part number so I'm re-researching. It's fine. We'll get it fixed up. I'm certainly learning stuff. :-)
