Good info 👍 running a 1660 to cut barley in Northern Ireland rotor belt needing replaced soon very helpful

[@martywatson876]

Awesome video thank you very much! We’re working on a 2588 but basically the same thing.

[@benbuck9133]

My 1460’s belt needs to be replaced, glad you made this because know I know how to attack it lol. Great video

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Thank you!! I'm glad I could help....you will need to hold your rotor from turning so you can get the rotor pulley to spread ours was still full of beans so it wouldn't turn and I just simply took the rotor wrench and made it spread open and dad got the belt dropped in it....best way to do it is probably wedge a block of wood in the rotor some how

[@frankwurth5375]

I don't know why but it seems our 1660 has had all the same failures! I'm on my 3rd rotor drive belt since I bought it in 20000. I do it a bit different but same results. Also have replaced all the bin unloading augers and tubes plus a new bin floor. The rotor drive coupling was bad when I got it, took a while to figure out was going on but it finally failed completely before we figured out why it kept breaking the drive gearbox frame. The spline wasn't fully engaged in the coupling, only about 1/4 the spline was engaged, and worn to the point that under load it would push the spline apart. Must have been that way from the factory. Replaced both parts of the spline and all the frame mounts as well as welding the separator frame to cure it. The hydro is starting to get a bit weak, any easy cures that don't cost a fortune? Lately it's been on a hydraulic hose replacement kick, 3rd one this week. Bad enough to change a line but it always loses the oil supply, not cheap.

Thanks a bunch This helped a lot

[@maddog3080]

Wish I had seen this video yesterday lol.

[@wizard_of_poz4413]

I really need an explanation how you got the slave pulley to spread open

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Put the rotor in gear and stick a bar through the concave or key stock grates to hold it from turning take your rotor wrench and stick it in the rectangular holes in the rotor pully and pull and it will roll it open

[@wizard_of_poz4413]

@@dirtgrainsteel ok thanks. We got a newer model and I wasn't sure if it had a pull bolt on the end of it

[@dylanjohnson2972]

Good job !

[@johnhyde111]

Thanks for the great information

[@michaelisrude]

Ever change an unloading auger tube? Asking for a friend.lol

[@dirtgrainsteel]

Yep from the bottom of the hopper all the way to the rubber boot at the end

[@michaelisrude]

We used a torch in the rain

[@dirtgrainsteel]

@@michaelisrude well that's one way to do it we got ours from Worthington also it was all new aftermarket stuff

[@fransboshoff7700]

Take a piece of an old rotorbeld, wedge in between torque sending unit pulleys until they're wide open. You will be surprised...

[@haroldswick9962]

I'm glad I had a Gleaner and not an Axial.

[@ethanseimer7059]

Thank you
