If you could, please send me your info on your "pump doctor". That would be a project that would wait till winter. I just know there is more to get out of it, if it was set right. I have learned more about my machine recently than in the past 12 yrs I have had an AF. Thank you very much, everyone.

The pump will most definately get checked out this winter. Today, it started getting weak with an almost full hopper on a slight grade. The ground is loose, moist, but not Wet by anymeans. As soon as the hopper is empty, it's ready to run again. Watching the power guage, it was a stretch to get it past the 1'oclock line, and that was with rpms dropped to 2630. Had a scare this morning. While checking things over I found a mess on the rear side of the engine. One of the large coolant hose's clamp had sealed good enough (as brought up earlier). It's the one behind the alt. so it's not an easy one to hook up and clamp. With a little extra torque, I got it to hold today. Also. Would someone have the spec demension on the location of pullies on a shaft. ON the feeder drive, the idler that tightens the belt that runs the header jackshaft is WAY too close to the drove pully. I need the measurments to make the pulleys on top and bottome run true. Thanks
