Abstract
A belt drive system for a vehicle, such as a combine harvester. The belt drive system uses a driven pulley which is selectively engageable with a driven shaft to supply rotation to the shaft. The pulley is mounted on a fixed, i.e. non-rotating, housing using suitable bearings, such that the bearings of the pulley continue to rotate and are dynamically loaded for all rotation conditions of the driven pulley, i.e. whether the pulley is engaged with the shaft or not. This prevents damage to the bearings due to false brinelling.
