Claas dominator 108 header belt problem

[Jagermeister]

First time posting, and excuse my bad english.

This year has been a warm winter and because of that the fields have been especially muddy. I have come across a problem where the belt of my claas dominator 108 that drives the header is too close to the front wheel. This causes the mud to get caught from the wheel onto the belt and makes the belt fall off and break.

At the moment the only idea is to rig something to clean the mud off the wheel but this isn't great.

Any ideas/solutions about this problem is appreciate, thank you.

Could you fit some tin to act as screen behind the wheel

That also was a solution but with the forces present i was worried the dirt/mud would break the screen and cause more damage to the moving parts behind it.

It is, but usually by now the ground would be frozen.

Turn the wheel round the other way or swap them side to side with dishes out so wheels are further away from belt

This model (or at least this one) doesn't have those kind of wheels, it would easily solve my problem.
Need to see if i find any of those wheels that fit.

You might need longer studs but could put a spacer in last time had this trouble used plain nuts on original studs with a spacer the original ones with washer on back took up too much stud

Now

None.

Now that i look at others, they seem to come with a guard. Must of bought it with it missing or had it removed through the years.

This picture isn't of my combine, but it looks basically the same as mine. Just pointing out that the belt is not covered by any protective shielding.

I can't say for sure because they haven't been changed since i bought it ~10y ago (was purchased used). But they probably are some version of 28LR26.
