TxJim--thanks for your response and help. I have double/triple checked that the belt is loose and pump not running in the idle position. I know the difference because when the first belt broke, the guy at the auto parts store measured it at 41 inches and that one burned up almost immediately.
Yesterday afternoon, another problem came up after I had just put a 5/8 x 43 belt on. There is no response whatever for the twine arm. My guess is the control valve has malfunctioned and there is no pressure getting to the cylinder. I am investigating that first thing this morning.
Ever have one of those weeks? This has been Friday the 13th luck for me all week. Found a dead cow, baler problems non stop, etc. Right now, I am trying to bale a 25 acre patch of ryegrass about 6 miles away from my shop. On the last trip over there with tractor/baler yesterday after the latest parts run--tried to engage the throttle on the tractor and the throttle lever literally broke off in my hand. Can't bale with foot throttle only, so back to the shop for a "farmer fix".
Got the throttle situation fixed, went the 6 miles back to the hay field and tried to bale. NO go! Then while looking at the twine pump situation, I heard a bearing clicking on the top roller. Just one of those days-weeks when nothing seems to go right. Well I guess the twine pump situation may have saved a burned baler if I hadn't noticed the bad bearing so that may be a bright spot.
I will get the problem figured out and post the results. Thank you and all who are trying to help.
