[AJD] Belt Dressing

>From what I can remember, using a 39 "A" John Deere and a similar type
grinder.  Grinding oats and milo type grain for the old milk cow.  In the
pictures, it seems like your belt is too loose.  As I remember the belt was
not hanging that low when we used the grinder. Also as I remember, the belt
was turned 180 degrees, yours is running straight.  Flipping the belt at one
end will change the direction of the rotation the grinder.  I don't remember
any problems of having the belt slip.

Where can I buy old fashion belt dressing?

This weekend as the weather was so nice 56 and sunny here. Western Illinois.
I thought I had better make good use of it. So Friday morning after I fed my
Chickens and the dog, and while the ground was frozen somewhat. I moved all
my equipment in place, so on Saturday I could grind some chicken feed. I use
my John Deere 48 b and an old Letz 220 grinder, anyone ever was one of
these. Works real well, only trouble I have is that I don't have any good
belt dressing. I was using a spray can of dressing, but it's not for big
belts. If I put to much corn in the hopper I would loose traction and things
would GRIND to a halt. My daughter took some pictures, and I uploaded them
to my server if you would like to have a look. So any one know where I can
order the good stuff?
