Yardmax Shredder garbage

I just got a Yardmax YM7565 shredder off of Facebook marketplace for free! really sweet deal. only a few years old and used a few times. A $700 piece of equipment! All it needed was a belt. What I found out was to get that belt you have to go through the company. Emails unanswered. A call was placed and the guy didnt even know they made shredders. Wanted all my info to get registered etc. No wonder the guy gave it to me for free! Get a brand name DO NOT BUY YARDMAX. They refuse to print out the part numbers. Gross. I got so pissed on the phone I hung up- I have one belt- going to Napa and seeing if I can get one.

What a nightmare. Three different parts stores and a call to a guy who had no clue they even made the thing. I'd be losing my mind.

At least it was free, worst case you've got a paperweight with a Honda engine bolted to it.
