On my '78 I only need to loosen the tension bolt, tighten the toothy adjuster

Well, therein lies the problem. I only see two bolts, the toothy

Where would the third bolt be?
I went out and took a close look at the Frankenheap. There are
three bolts. The toothed one, the pivot bolt at the bottom,
I can't move it by hand to get any tightness on the belt.
You don't, you use a box-end wrench on the toothed bolt head.
Set the belt tension that way, hold it in place with the one
wrench while you tighten the nut on the back with another wrench.
Don't move the toothed head any while doing
Oh, and as I recall the toothed bolt can get out of sync

partially around it.) So make sure the teeth can engage
