SE South Dakota | My bet it the reverser was hot because the belt was slipping. The belt was slipping becuase it was not correctly tensioned. Read in the operator manuel the correct tensioning process. The idler pulley adjustment is not what determines the belt tension. This is going by memory for me as I used to own a JD 9670 but now have the s series with the 5 speed feederhouse.
I know from experience that a chopping corn head doesn't allow for the belt to be poorly tensioned!!
Did you put in synthetic oil in the reverser? It is a good idea but if you change often, regularly, (yearly??) 80-90 GL5 could be OK.
Good luck, Jim J | |
