brought this mower new in 2005 have 380 hours and since 2009 have had to replace the hydo belt 3 times and it broke again today. looked every thing over and can not find any thing that may be causing the problem any ideas about what i need to do. love the mower but i have no idea about how to fix this. ANY help would be appreciated.

There are only a few things that will keep breaking belts...
Excessive Load, Is anything dragging that belt.?
Excessive Heat, are the pulleys not in line with each other?
Excessive tension, is that belt being pulled too tight?
There are not any others that come to mind with repeated failures... :smile:KennyV
