I replaced the drive belts on my MTD 13AN682G129 lawn tractor. I cut for about 45 minutes last night and everything worked great. Tonight I mowed my lawn and after about 45 minutes of mowing the mower wouldn't move. The belt would begin to smoke if I let the clutch/brake pedal out. I took the cover and battery out and was able to get everything freed up. Mowed for about 30 minutes and it did it again. Got it going again and mowed for about an hour and it never did it again. When I changed belts the middle part of the variable pulled moved freely.

Other than stopping twice the mower ran and mowed great. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob
