Being a novice a may not have all the answers to your questions, but this is what I know. I currently do not use one, but I have in the past and intend to in the futures as I have acquired a few pieces of equipment that require it. In my experience you use a belt that matches the smallest pulley size. Everything I have both the machine and the tractor have a 6 inch wide pulley, I have never seen a 6 inch belt used when the machine only has a 4 inch or smaller pulley. You line up the tractor by first putting the belt on the machine and laying it out squarely on the ground, then simply line up the tractor to the belt and install. How the belt is installed depends on a number of things, I think equipment may have been made in both clockwise and counter clockwise rotation, and some could be operated from either side, in either case you may need a half twist in the belt to change rotation. The longer the belt, or when a 2 cyl tractor was used you wanted a twist to eliminate or minimize belt slap as this can work the belt off not to mention it causes machine surging. The belts stays on by the weight of the belt and the slight crown on the pulleys. Therefore when installing the belt you do not need to back the tractor up to get all the slack out of the belt but you may need to tap the individual brakes to pivot the tractor every so slightly to get everything trued up.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
