This is one of the things my dad explained to me, and I wish I would have paid more attention, because he's not around any more to ask. When I was younger I bought an old JD hammer mill and pulled it with the M. I remember dad said it was a good set-up, because I could put a twist in the belt. He also said the belt was a good one, because it was one piece rubber and it was nice and long. I believe he thought a longer belt was better, and if I remember right, just tight enough to take most of the slack, or sag, out. I do remember that I needed to get the tractor lined up just right, so the belt would stay running in the center. I also remember him saying they would put a little liquid molasses on the belt, but I had a rubber belt, and I never saw the need to do this. Besides, by then the only place we had liquid molasses was in the refrigerator, and mom would probably have put a halt to that! I have a lot of good memories grinding corn with the old M and that 6" hammer mill, it used to give us both a work-out.
