When I got my All Crop I had no canvis. I went to a canvis shop and had them make me mine. If it was warm out I would drag them, out and get a measurm,ent for u. But in the long run, about all have to do is get a measurment width of your table and take an inch ioff either end (2in) shy of the table width. then run a cord from top roller to bottom roller and aroud both and measure it. Ad a foot to overlap where you belt it together. Be sure of your belt and buckle. Get ONLY canvis belting, and if not that leather belting. I got polyhellknowswhat and I could never keep it tight and it has started fraying at the ends. The buckles ned to be on the low, outside end, and the straps need to be on the high inside ends about a foot from the end to allow for the hang over couvfering the gap and buckles. Do not cinch to terribly tight, as it is overly hard on the canvasis, and somtimes on the upper, it will not come down from the raised position as it has been cenched too tight. Get good wood, lathe wood might work, but make sure it is GOOD wood. Put around 1 leather rivit (Brass) a foot apart on your slats. Run yer slats around 1ft apart from each other. Make sure your guides are in good shape on either side and alla the junk is cleaned out benieth the lower roller. Make sure the plate behind the sickle that covers the gap between the lower roller and the bottom pan is raised high enough to allow free movement of the canvis, but not high enough to do anything to the cut grain as it is comming in. if u can find it, get the 6 bat reel, not the 4 bat reel as ou will have fewer plugs because of it. Also if you are using it with a tractor without an overriding clutch, I hope u have the engine on it and not PTO. Good luck
