13AV60KG011 - Troy-Bilt Bronco Lawn Tractor (2009)
Just put a new main drive belt (954-0468) on this mower. The top short one that only drives the transmission and variable speed pully and the one small idler pulley. (The spring connects to the top of the idler pully on the right (passenger side) and connects to a bolt on the left side) The first one was burnt on the outside. This one, has only been on for a couple of hours and can see signs of it doing the same thing.
Also, it keeps jumping off. Everything is lined up. The spring may be a little week. But not so week that I can reach in and take it off by hand. I use a long thick wire, loop it in the end of the spring, then stretch it over the stud. Then screw the nut back on.
Anyone ever run into this before.
Also, the belt guild on the small pulley, should it be facing towards the front of the mower?
