Re:Trouble with the Drive and Mower Belts on an LTV10 #917.252671
I have a Craftsman LTV10 model number 917.252671 that I can't keep the belts on. The Primary Drive belt was shredded, so I got a replacement from a reputable dealer. It seems to fit OK, but it won't stay on, once I start the engine. I don't have an owners manual, so I can only assume that I have it installed correctly. The V-grove pullys have the V-shaped face of the belt in them, and the flat-faced pully has the outer face of the belt in it. Essentially the same thing is happening with the drive belt for the mower deck. Since both belts take their power from the stacked pullys on the mower shaft, they both come off shortly after I start the engine. I would really appreciate some help with this.
