An agricultural combine includes a supporting structure. A work assembly is coupled to the supporting structure. The work assembly has a plurality of components to assist in the performing of crop processing operations. The work assembly is configured to define an air stream path. The work assembly has at least one rotary component that generates an air stream that flows through the air stream path to aid in crop processing in the work assembly. A fluid system is configured to circulate a fluid. The fluid system includes a fluid cooler that is positioned at a location in the air stream path to provide cooling of the fluid.

A torque sensing assembly includes an axially fixed sheave having an axis of rotation, and an axially movable sheave movable along the axis in relation to the axially fixed sheave. A compression spring has a first end and a second end, with the first end being positioned to engage the axially movable sheave. A dual stage spring compression mechanism has a spring retainer that engages the second end of the compression spring. The dual stage spring compression mechanism is connected to the axially fixed sheave. The dual stage spring compression mechanism has a first stage compression device that compresses the compression spring by a first preload amount and a second stage compression device that compresses the compression spring by a second preload amount.
