You can't really tighten the belt on any of these mowers. First make sure you have the right belt, if you measured the old one when it broke then you were not using the size it was before it got all stretched out from use. Find a manual or look around online for a source to tell you the size the belt should be new and get one. Second there is a tensioner arm, spring, and pulley which take up the slack, this may double as a clutch to put in slack when you depress the pedal. Make sure the pivot for the arm, the spring, and the pulley/bearing are all in good shape. Third there are belt guides which can also be worn and create slack, so check those and make sure they are in good shape as well. I may not be the only one who ever put a belt on the wrong side of a guide. Lastly make sure you have the belt on correctly, and nothing is bent, split, or warped.
You may have a pully that is not spining freely. Or you may have a pully that is not positioned straight. Ariens had a problem with that. so your troy built may have the same.
There is no actual transmission disconnect on the mower. If you put in neutral the belt would need to slip on the pulley in order for it to be pushed or roll freely. This usually doesn't happen.
Please don't be offended but are you sure you are putting it on the right way. A lot of the mowers out today have guards that prevent the belt from coming off the pulleys if there is a foreign object caught up when they are being used. These guards are actually post that are fastened to the chassis of the mower. Troy built is a top name mower so I'm sure their design is reliable. Sorry I can't be more specific.
Does the tension on the belt seem adequate? Is there a tension adjustment. (an idler pulley with an adjustment)?
Hope this helps Good Luck Loring Please give me a rating Thks
