Belt-Driven Hammermill Converted to PTO Drive
I came up with this idea to make it possible to convert an old belt-driven hammermill to pto drive using an old plow tire and axle. The hammermill should run at 2,000 to 3,000 rpm's - the pto runs at 540 - so the tire speeds it up. I mounted a driveshaft in the middle of the wheel and the tire runs against the belt pulley. I bought the old hammermill for just $5 and got the plow wheel for free. It grinds up 3,000 tbs. per hour. (Bill White, Box 975, Twisp, Wash. 98856 ph 509 997-3006)
