I am having problems with my JD 535 baler. The belt on the twine pump continues to break. I have replaced the pump and checked the idler pulley alignment. In the last 2 days I have gone thru 5 new belts.
The original JD belt calls for a 42 inch belt. I used aftermarket belts during the weekend when the dealer was closed and they break just like the JD belt. The green "power rated" ones seem to break faster than the others.
In checking the archives, I see a post in 2007 that describes my problem exactly, but the solution was not posted.
When the belt broke the first time, I did replace the pump with an auto part store version. It fits perfectly, but I am not sure of the gpm for it versus one from JD. It pumps fine and the twine ties perfect as long as the belt is good.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution? One belt lasted for about 120 bales. The green power rated belt broke on the 4th roll. Course by then the baler was completely warm/hot. Thanks for the help.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
