Yea, the reason I'm taking it off is because the vertical arm that attaches to the hydraulic lift and bolts to the gearbox (boy that is a bad design) is cracked at the main frame connection and now the gear box has been pushed slightly to the back of the machine. SO the main drive belt to the sheller flies off the pulley on the back of the main gearbox.
The plate the gearbox attaches to is being ripped at the corners to allow the drift.
If all the bolts are gonna tear i think that I will weld the gearbox to a new plate with holes in it, weld a new thicker connection plate to the main frame and then bolt the two plates together. I'm sure not to skilled at removing those broken bolts from inside of something. There is nothing sticking out from the one that is broken.
This is after I heat and hammer the vertical lift arm back into the correct place (weld it) so it can bolt back to the gearbox when it is in its correct place.
All this after wondering why that belt keeps flying off..........
i had a really hard time keeping this machine going last year and this year is looking like the same thing. Pick for 45 minutes, break something, order part, fix it, repeat, repeat and always something different. I just keep telling myself that eventually I'll have enough replaced that it will run like new!
