There is a roll pin on both the front and rear variable sheaves. It can only be checked bu taking the sheaves apart. If it is broken the sheaves will allow the belt to slip. Also there was a mod on the fan intake that required the opening in the side of the combine to be enlarged, you might want to check to see if yours has been done. However I think it is one of those roll pins. Good luck. If you have more questions you can e-mail me at chadnichol@hotmil.com
