Every body, you are all fortgetting one thing, Unlerss he is powereing it with a large steemer the drive will also be a 6 inch pully and a lot of tractors have a guide on as well to keep belt from hitting tractor, that means it would be riding off center on both pullys. Now an 8 belt is also going to be thicker fot those 100 horse power steemers with larger diameter pullys that the belt will not want to work correctly on a tractor size pully.. And in ant case it is going to destroy the belt running against that guide on the shingle mill all ith time trying to center itself. Will eventially tear up the edge of the belt running against that guide as well as destroying that guide. FORGET ABOUT TRYING TO USE THAT 8 INCH BELT FOR THAT UNLESS YOU WANT TO RUIN IT PLUS THE SHINGLE MACHINE AND THOSE SHINGLE MACHINES ARE NOT MADE STRONG ENOUGH TO STAND THE PULL IT WOULD TAKE TO TIGHTEN THAT 8 INCH BELT. The belt you will want is only a quarter inch thick while that 8 inch will be at least 3/8 inch and that is way to thick for a light duty as the shingle mill is. Years ago I got some 8 inch belting with other items can't now rember what. I had use for 5 or 6 inch belt so I gave the 8 inch to local tractor the use 8 inch every year to power threshers and a saw mill with steem. I think the show is close to one member on here in North East Indiana. That 8 inch belt should be selling for the price of 3 new 6 inch belts. And yes they can be cut to remove a dammaged section unless it is an endless belt that cannot be cut without ruining it. And belts are only made to run in one direction and it will be marked on the belt the direction to run it. Andyou buy a new spliced belt for a certain length, now you need to add 3 more feet for an endless belt to allow for the splice to have a usable belt. And you try to use a canvas belt on a small less than 6 inch pully it will totally destroy the belt. We did that before knowing what it would do. A 5 inch belt is large enough for that shingle mill

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
