I recently acquired an MTD Yardman 13AM772G755 riding mower. It doesn't seem to be engaging the blades for cutting at all times when the PTO is engaged. Grass is being discharged from the chute, however, it sounds like the blades are starting and stopping periodically. Upon inspection, I discovered the belt is loose. I first thought it must have the wrong sized belt on and took it off and measured it. It is 1/2 X 95 1/2 inch. The original belt specification calls for a 1/2 X 96 1/2 inch belt, so therefore the belt cannot be too large. I've looked at all the pulleys and they are all functioning properly, as far as I can tell. Are there any other things that can cause the tension to not be taken up?
