[AT] all about running flat belt equipment

[Darrell Ratliff]

Al,
    I know a fellow who is running his 4E with a belt made from round baler belts.  I suppose a couple of them could be laced together to make a longer belt.

I have a long endless 6" wide belt (actually about 5 3/4") that I run
my #6 hammer mill with.  Now my little IH 4E mill has a narrower
pulley--it'll accommodate a 4--4 1/2" belt.  My Super A has a 6" wide
pulley, my Cub has a 4" wide pulley. Can I run a 6" wide belt on it
and just let the extra width hang out past the edge of the pulley, or
does my belt need to match the pulley width?  I have picked up a
fairly nice 4" wide belt, but it's only about 12' long.

thanks,
Al
