I would agree with the input below. They listed several good points and it can be overwhelming where to start. I dont claim to be an expert on vertical driven planers or even planers in general, but this reminded me of a vertical driven shingle mill. Youll notice the apron at the bottom of the drive pulley. On your assembly an adjustment of that sort might be an undertaking. The other comparison I can draw is with a small cast pulley sawmill I run at a show. In that case Ive noticed definite improvement with belt dressing. As stated below there are options on what to use. Ive used molasses, Dawn soap, and spray on belt dressing with success. If you feel your belting is in good shape and if you have correct size lacing this might be an easy first step. Clipper lacing should have a size and hp chart to guide you to correct size lacing. Your pulleys appear to have good crown to them, but a cheap experiment could be to wrap a couple layers of duct tape around the center of the pulley to increase the crown. Easy and cheap experiment to help single out possible problems.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
