Vari drive pully + Idler arm W/Pully,Spring (0rig) This year Started Blowing Off The Top Drive Belt (idler / top trans pully / Top Of Vari Drive.

Has All New Oem Belts, Found Idler Pully / Arm Shot , Installed Idler Kit Comes Complete W/All Brackets Hardware, Installed, Checked Alignment "perfect" Yet Did Same Thing.

So Took Off Vari Pully, Found Both Bearings Loose In Cup (like cup egg shaped) The Center squeeze Portion Moves Freely Yet Definitely Signs Of Wear, Put Piece Of Shim Stock, Along With 2 New Bearings, Worked 4 bout 3 hrs Same Thing

Checked Trans Pully 4 Flatness OK .

Need This 50" Mower So Bit The Bullet & Ordered Vari Drive, Cup, 2 Bearings, Mounting Bracket To Frame , And Upper Trans Pully (big one).

Any Comments Esp Worn Vari Drive & Belt Complications , Would This Cause Top Drive Belt Comming Off, All Other Pulleys Replaced Aug '18 No Play

If you got 12 years out of that variable drive system, you got the full life out of it. Just remember when changing belts you must change both at the same time.
