[SEL] Belt Dressing

[John Hammink]

I did alot of grinding at shows with my McCormick-Deering
type D feed grinder. I run it with a six horse M, but my experience
is the rpm's of the grinder are very important for a good grinding
process. At this Url you can see the different pulley dia's and rpm's.
