Started doin wheat a few days ago with our 1977 L2. We have been having trouble with the cylinder slowing down. The belt from the main shaft pulley with the electric clutch to the right pivot pulley gets hot. We put belt dressing on it but it didn't help. We put a Jober belt on 2 years ago and had trouble with the cylinder slowing down in tough beans but not with the corn and now were having trouble with the wheat. It always use to just thump it through but now the cylinder slows down. We bought a new Allis Chalmers belt and are going to put it on and hope it helps but we are wondering if the electric clutch is slipping and the whole combine is slowing down but none of the tattle tale lights come on. If we are running the cylinder about 1300 rpm and it slowed down to about 850 rpm would the tattle tail lights come on? Is it the belt or the clutch? Any help is much appreciated because I don't like running the combine like this.
