Hello All!
I have a Craftsman YT 3000 46" cut that has just started throwing the ground drive belt. If I hit a hard bump it comes off or if I run into the chain link fence when making a turn it comes off.(I know, don't hit the fence!) I pulled the deck out and got under the mower to inspect the pulleys and every thing looked fine. I even took a small steel brush and cleaned the pulleys, no chips or cracks. Installed a NEW belt as sold by Sears and it wasn't 10 min. I hit a bump in the yard and the belt came off. out comes the battery and battery box, belt gets pulled out of the cooling fan and put back in the pulley, battery reinstalled and I'm off and running again UNTIL! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
