Our sawmill stopped working and I'm not sure how its supposed to go together. It was still making noise, but the belt wasn't turning. I took it apart and I think the string was tangled or looped wrong. I don't know how it's supposed to go though. Does anyone have any info or photos of how this is supposed to be?

If it was working the string probably just came off the pulley . Just loop it around the pulley. If you look at it closely you will see which way to wrap it around in order to work. Just had to do the same thing to a 334 dispatch board. Think it went around pulley a turn and a half. Hope this helps.

Different changes to the sawmill but this has photo of the motor and belt.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I don't see the part I am trying to get back together in these photos. I'm trying to figure out how the string is supposed to be routed from a small vibrating type motor.
Steam, Hope these pics help. Good Luck.
Thanks for the photos, they are great! Is the oval shaped metal piece supposed to be riveted to that metal bracket? I'm talking about the circle that is around the size of a quarter, which the string connects to.
In the pic below, if we are talking about the part with the RED arrow pointing at it, then YES it is riveted to the bracket shown by the Yellow arrow. Just so you know, when re-assembling, the string goes one full revolution around the pulley.
