This V-belt transmits power from the engine drive pulley to the driven components in the harvester’s drive system. It sits in the drive system, coupling the engine output to the input shaft of the implement driveline. A worn or slipping belt reduces power transfer efficiency, causing the driven components to operate below their intended speed. The belt is manufactured by Gates to match the original cross-section profile, which ensures proper seating in the pulley grooves and correct tension retention. On installation, verify the belt is fully seated in all pulley grooves and adjust tension to the manufacturer’s specification.
