Belt length does mater. Too long and with smaller implements or tractors you cannot pull it up tight. And a 40' belt you can only have about 18' between implement pully and power pully, that 40 foot is total lengthn not a working length that is 1/2 total length minus what it takes to go arounf half of each pullys. And don't put a belt with a lacing on a small pully like a hammer mill as the curvature of the pully will tear the lacings out. For width you need to measure the driven pully and use that even if it is only half the width of drive pully. For something like a stand alone cord wood saw about 15' to tractor is a good length as totry to use a 40' bekt you could not fasten that saw down enought to tighten a 40' or longer belt. Now a theshing machine with its extra weight will need possibly a60 to 80 foot belt and will need a belt as wide as tractor pully. And having the tractor missaligned as much as 1/8" can throw a belt off. You just may have to move front end of tractor that small a distance without moving back end. And all belts wrom power source to implement are supposed to have the twist in them to keep them from flopping around to bad. on some setups you might need 2 or 3 twists. But on melts mounted on apiece of machinery they do not run a twist as the pullys are not far enough away from each other for that. What type of machinery and what tractor do you plan on using? That cam help us recomend an aproperate belt. And a canvas belt requires a bigger pully than a rubber belt does. If it takes you an hour to get it alinged with no experience you are doing good.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
