The reason the belt would be crossed is to reverse the direction of the driven pulley from clockwise to counterclockwise or vice versa depending on the equipment being driven by the belt and the required direction it must be turned. If the belt is not crossed both pulleys turn in the same direction. We sawed lumber for several buildings here on the farm back in the early 1950's using a 15-30 International tractor and a similiar sawmill. The sawmill and tractor is still in use on occasion but not very often anymore. Lots of farm equipment used to be powered by the belt namely thrashing machines and feed grinding hammer mills in this area. Nice to see that old equipment in operation and there is an antique steam power show in our area every September which is nice to attend. Lots of smoke hanging in the air, Hal. P.S. I have never seen a Farmall C or H sawing lumber as larger tractors were generally used but that size would be adequate for a hammer mill grinder on a small farm.
