In that picture I took about a month or so ago the  belt is powering the 
poor old worn out Case 14 inch hammer mill that my Dad bought back about 
1953. It will still hammer oats into acceptable cattle and chicken feed but 
the bearings are so loose that it vibrates pretty bad.
This picture taken about 25 years ago shows the hammer mill a little better. 
Cockshutt 40 powering the belt this time on a cold sunny winter day much 
like today.

Hard work but it didn't bother me back then.
