Been a number of posts here lately about silo blowers and it reminds me of being a kid in the 60's using a JD silo blower to fill a 40 ft silo.We shared the equipment with a neigbor who had a tight spot so we had a blower with the long table and it was belt driven. We had to have a small pully on the blower as we ran it with a W9 and it was the only way to get enough RPMs.This was where I got my experience running equipment with a flat belt. We had falls that were beautiful for being in the fields and years that were a total mud hole. I'm at an age now where I can't remember this morning but I can remember this kind of stuff to the closest detail.
