Axial-flow hyd. pump check

On the way to get parts this morning,there was a 1660 combine that had been run into the ditch--straight shot--no turning one way or the other. Got to the imp. store & asked what was wrong. Seems the hydraulic pump [belt driven from engine] mounting bracket/ bolts had gone South. Well, steering & everything but hydrostatic works off that pump.
So, heads up & take a look every now & again up in your pump area. I'd imagine a belt that went kerflooey driving the pump could do the same.
 
Was just looking at that belt on my 2366 today. A few little cracks. If I didn't have to drive down the road I wouldn't worry about it for this year. That belt is a little bugger to replace.

Corn is still 25% and beans are still green so I think I will take the time to replace it.

I pulled an ear today at my place & it was 19%--of course you can add 3% for combining. Beans are green here yet. Are you doing 4th cutting hay? The nephews are baling today.
You're right about that belt replacement--about like the old 2MH pickers you were supposed to be able to mount in 45 minutes---never happened.
