Thanks guys, Hey when you say crossed, is that the same language we call twisting the belt to run the oposite direction? The reason I ask is about 24 years ago I had a B JD on the baker fan with a long belt. The JD's when you put them on their knees will snap the belt to the point of making bystanders get whiplash in their necks. Many times just throttling back will help. My dad made mention of tearing belts up years ago by doing this. A old JD farmer was watching my escapade with the B JD and asked if I would be ofended if he showed me how to belt up a two cylinder. I usualy have no problem admiting I have alot to learn and this was no exception. We were running a straight belt, he twisted the belt inside out on the tractor only. Some of you guys will offer the suggestion that it reverses the machine. This does not reverse the direction I must point out, but makes it work ten times better. That is why I mention crossing the belt, as old and gray I am I have never heard that termanology. I have never seen anyone else do this (turning the belt inside out on the tractor)and I attend quite a few shows. I have seen this alot after I offered to help them with their problem. Dave NE IA
