Ouch, the same thing happened to my son in laws dad. 1480 with a huge grain topper. Looked the same laying on the ground just a different color. Rod.
 
How steep wuz the hill they were on?

I have often wondered that the hillside combines are in a lot of strain from the hills that they are used in.
 
In 1970, my grandad had an IH 403 combine and running a three row ch, he put the RH drive wheel on backwards--- dish out---and ran it 2 days before breaking the final drive housing. I was 8 yrs old, and I can't remember why he did it, but we finally threw that busted final drive on a scrap load about 3 years ago. A neighbor still uses that combine to run some small fields of beans and wheat.
 
Back in the early 90s, used to see lots of red machines that were split in to. My cousins hubby made a living welding them back together, for quite a number of years.
 
Probably ran it that way to set the wheel out farther because of mud. My dad did that at least once, both sides.
 
Looks like it happened right there. Another Local late model JD side hill did the same thing a couple years ago. Glad I don't have to work on green combines. Their rotary looks a lot like the cylinder machine. Belts behind jackshafts, jackshafts behind belts....etc.
