Remember not to tension the belt too tight as another lister mentioned.
I believe the usual play is about a 0.5in deflection.

And use a new belt. The only time I had a belt failure was 20 hours
after I put a 'new' belt on. I'd put on my oldest spare, which was
dumb. It's not fresh milk, and there's no need to rotate stock. Belts
are cheap; overheating is expensive.

Maybe your alternator is old, the bearings are worn, if so the brushes are
probably worn as well, and you should replace both?
When I burned my diodes, I considered sending it for a rebuild but then I
was quoted up to $ 200.00 +
Then I looked on eBay: How about 85.00 bucks shipped brand spanki
Thanks everyone!

Once it has started to squeal, the inside of the "V" has been glazed and
tensioning the belt is not a viable option. Replacement is quite easy on most
engines.

There are usually two bolts. A pivot point and a bolt on the tension arm.
Loosen both, slip off the old belt and replace. The hard part is
tensioning the belt and tightening the nut on arm at the same time. That
is where the device Edd used helps.

One person with a lever can do it. Changing belts every year or two is best
policy.
