Hi folks, new to your forum. What would cause my Raptor SD drive belt to come off? I was cutting on a flat surface and it just lost the ability to mov forward/backward?

Check all the mounting bolts for your transaxle. I am betting you will find a few either broken or almost broken.

Examine the belt for indications of damage.

Did the belt come off?

some drive pulleys have "keepers" That prevent the belt from bouncing, moving out, walking off, etc.
Is any keeper still in place?


sticks, debris, bad idler, bad bearing, vibration, it broke...
