    1980 Troy-Bilt Horse tiller, belt problems

    Recently I repowered a Troy-Bilt tiller with a Predator engine from Harbor Freight. It ran great for about half an hour and then devoured it's front (towards the engine) belt!! I had ordered Kevlar belts for it from "Off Road Belts". The rear belt (towards the tiller end) seems fine. Evidently...
