Hi all, I am doing a bit of an overhaul on my hesston 5600 which has been great for me so far, the bottom belt had a big tear in it so decided to replace, once it was off
I discovered the bale support roller closest to the pickup is locked up tight, this appears to be one of the rollers that doesn't just unbolt and drop out, the only way
I can see to get the roller out would be to split the whole thing down the middle, but this can't possibly be right! I would nearly have to take the entire thing apart!
Has anyone done this job? I feel like I must be missing something! As a side note my replacement platform belt did not come with the centered v-belt, how critical is this
to keep it centered? The dealership didn't seem to think they could even get it anymore so I'm not sure what my alternative would be! Thanks in advance!
 
Don't know anything about your baler, other than looking at the parts breakdown on Agco. If it is locked up, what I saw was just bearing replacement would fix?
 
I dont think your not having the centered v belt will matter, I had a IH 2400 a few years back and its platform belt didnt need a centered v belt and there wasnt any issues with that belt tracking right.
