Glue for a belt

I have a slice half way through a six sided belt on my international combine. it is a good belt other than the one slice and i only need to cut 30 acres of wheat, so i would like to try to repair the belt rather than replace. Has anybody had any luck trying to glue cuts and slices in belts? What product would work best? Thank you.
 
You're not going to have any luck repairing a cut belt. Replace it or run it as is until it breaks.
 
You may be able to rivit it back together if the belt is big enough. Either that or glue with a winding that is not so large that it prevents it from running through the pully's correctly
 
If it"s not critical, run it til it breaks. If the machine will plug when it goes, replace it now.

I carried an extra header drive belt in the Model F Gleaner, then the same belt in an F2, for over 15 years, cuz the original was cracked half way through on both machines. Breaking would hurt nothing, could be changed easily in the field, so I ran them.
 
Order a new one and run it till it blows.

A belt gets a squeezing force as it goes through the pulley, a pulling force as it moves to the next pulley, it has to bend as it goes around the pulley, and a 6-sided likely has these forces on both sides as it is used to reverse shaft directions.

All that means there is no glue that will do anything, the cords in it take the pulling force, the rubber takes the flex and squeeze, glue won't take any of that 60 times a minute or more.
