We had a J.I.Case #8? hammer mill for about 50 years. My Dad use to run it with a SC with a 50ft(100ft of belt) endless 8 inch belt that was from the threshing machine. On the SC to turn the hammer mill in the correct direction it had to be a "straight belt" and if there was a cross wind the belt would flap and jump around when there was no load on it. Later when we used B414D the belt pulley coukd be installed to left or right. We would install it to the left for hammer mill as now it required a "crossed belt" to run the proper direction. This eliminated the jumping and flapping caused by the wind and also appeared to provide better grip on the pulleys. Threshing machines were always run with a "crossed belt".

Belt dressing is a must. The black tar like stuff that came in a tube was the best.

Good luck
