    Dad told me before he passed. The flat belt Pully had a slight ridge in the center that is what kept the belt on. He also told me the twist in a flat belt was to change direction only. My mom's first maytag had a kick start engine. Dad was born in January of 1923 grew up on a farm. My grand father had several pieces of equipment that run with a flat belt. Merry Christmas!

      Grew Up Around the old machinery and your dad is correct about the "Crown" on a Flat Belt Pulley Which centers the belt on it
      The Twist is Purely The Mechanics Of Direction IE: Rotation
      To which your dad is also correct

    The firetruck you showed is a American LaFrance Ariel which were manufactured in Elmira NY until the early 1980's. As was already mentioned, the Brockway you viewed next was a product of Brockway Trucks of Cortland NY until the mid 1970's (at which point the production was moved to Puerto Rico ((I think)) and continued or a short time). What you may not know is depending on the year, these two trucks may be "Related". At different times Brockway Truck built chassis for Amereican LaFrance (back when New York State was good for something...) as both companies were located in the Southern Tier of Western New York. Many older American LaFrance firetrucks have their roots in Brockway.

    Watching these old motors run is pretty satisfying. The cintrifiigal governors and the way the valves are timed is really slick. Let's not forget many are running after more than a hundred years without much more than a cleaning up and lube.

    At 17:55 reminds me of the model A truck my grand dad had in the 60's that he used to haul the tin cans and bottles out into the woods behind his house. Just a frame, home made wood bed and half a cab. Remember riding along almost bouncing out out my seat as he drove that thing over logs and rocks. Could have been thrown out and died any second but it was so much fun I didn't care.

    My friend family comes from K2 mountain area second highest mountain in the world. There are many stone mills for corn. Wheat and rice flour grinding run by water from the mountain. According to him the problem with stone mills is people use to loose teeth by the time they are in fifty cause there is stone present in the flour grinding there teeth. Most of them converted to newer style grinding using water as power source.

    We had an engine like that red one lunger when I was a kid. We had it on a timber frame with a long belt going to a long shaft with a saw blade on one end and a big flywheel on the other. There was tilt table to load fire wood to length. I remember it was 3.5 HP and 675 RPM. I used to run it myself starting when I was 12. We had two sticks made so it would hold the compression release and I’d pull the stick once I got it spinning by pulling on the wide belt. This was in the mid 1960s.

    That red and white Brockway 361 is a sharp rig, surprising to see one clear down in Florida they were mostly northeastern trucks with a good many making it to WV and eastern KY as well. A Mack is nice but they’re no Brockway….those trucks were built so well Mack had to kill the brand to try and stop it’s own plummeting sales…and they still got bought out by Renault. That old RL-600 Mack isn’t as old as it looks, the gray interior means it’s a 1986 at the absolute oldest, that’s when they switched over (more or less…there are a few 86’s with tan interiors and the old 3 spoke wheel and a few 85’s with the gray interior and black 2 spoke wheel.
