I have never used a flat belt before, so I am not sure if I have this set up right. The belt has two problem areas, I could cut about 3 feet out of the belt and if there is a way to re-join the ends I would be in business, or I can look for a better belt. The belt moves from edge to edge of the pulley on the tractor when running with no load, I am not sure if that is because of the damaged belt or for some other reason. When I push a piece of wood of any size into the saw and it slows down the belt tends to jump off the tractor pulley. Small pieces seem to cut fine since the blade does not slow, or at least not as much. I am guessing that if I sharpen the saw blade I will have less trouble with this. I am not sure if I have the tension right on the belt, or if my chain hung on the axle is enough to ground the tractor and dissipate static electricity. I have also heard of using a crowbar leaned against the tractor. Any advice will be much appreciated, I have no experience with flat belt equipment. Zach

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
