| Thanks for the response, guys...Yes, I'm talking about the wide cog belt.
I tore up the variable speed intermediate drive belt out of age, and weedy oats. When I put it back together and started it the first time, the wide cog belt walked outward on it's sheave. I adjusted the lower spring-loaded sheave again, and it walked back onto the sheave fully. After running it a bit, I learned that I apparently adjusted it too much, as the next thing I knew, it had walked all the way off the sheave the opposite of the direction it had began to walk off of, earlier. It was then rubbing between the combine the sheave, on the shaft, and tore up badly. I decided to throw it back on and try to readjust the lower sheave, again. I then ran it at half throttle and everything seemed to work fine. Then I gave it RPM, and that belt that I thought would hold up at least for sheave alignment flew off into multiple pieces. :)
Now that I don't have the old belt to trial and error with, I am kind of worried about hurting the new one. Mise-well wrap a $100 bill around the sheave, as far as I'm concerned...I need to get them aligned correctly, which I might have done, but I'm trying to make sure. I have no real concern that the reason for belt failure is anything but stupidity. Haha | |
