I thought that you should put a twist into a belt? For what reason, I don't know. ------------- 1961 H3 |

I may be wrong but the twist changes direction of rotation. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

| I think it depends on which way the pulley on the unit being powered needs to go. Put a twist into the belt if it needs to go the opposite direction of the pulley on the tractor. I THINK!!! sometime correct me if I'm wrong or if theres another reason. |

A twist in the belt reverses rotation of the driven pulley and when I hooked my CA up to the belt driven Dyno at our show several years ago I believe it took about 5hp to turn the belt at high idle because of the friction of the 2 sides rubbing together. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Here is a video of that amazing tractor on the PTO dyno at Hutchison. Warning you will not be able to watch this video just once. Notice the guy running around with the heat gun checking exhaust temperatures. If I can remember right it put out over 70 horses.
Link not working type "AO dyno" when you get the you tube site.

There was a twist in the belt but you are only seeing about 1/4 of it. It was about 45' long. ------------- Doug |
