[TenTec] PTO adjustment

[Gary Hoffman]

A wavy washer is literally wavy...kinda like a potatoe chip, but uniformly
of course.

A belleville washer is a conical device, meant to establish a specific load
under a bolt head.

They are different and distinct.

I do believe you can find each of these on the McMaster Carr website.
