[AJD] Belt Dressing

[Jack Hollon]

I use Shep's Belt Dressing on a flat belt that we use to power a Montgomery
Ward hammermill.  I pick the stuff up at an Amish settlement in Jamesport,
Missouri.  I'm sure most Amish harness shops should handle it or be able to
get it for you.  Costs about $2.50 a pint, looks like black strap molasses,
one can lasts me about two years.  Hope this helps, Jack

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?
