check for failing cutter shaft bearings , misalignment of pulleys , incorrect belt tension, wrong section belts in use
breaking belts is an indication of the belt going around a pulley and flexing against the belt fabric structure ( bending backwards as opposed to running properly in the groove) which indicates that the tension pulley is on the wrong position on the belt
Looking underneath the mower on top of the deck there should be a flat metal arm with a flat faced pulley on the end. This pulley pushes against the belt that drives the mower deck . The spring should be hooked on that arm and pulled tight over to a place on the deck and this is what keeps the belt tight enough to turn the blades when you engage the pto switch. My recommendations to put this back on is to remove the belt pulley cover on the deck right side roll the belt off at that pulley giving you a bunch of slack so you can hook up the spring and put the belt in the right position on everything else then go back to the deck right hand pulley start putting the belt back on that pulley and when it is to tight to get it all the way on reach under the deck and use the blade as leverage to finish turning the pulley and walk that belt on the rest of the way ,it will not hurt a thing, all you are doing is pulling that 7 inch spring over like it was intended to be, then replace the cover on the deck spindle.
Some have belt guides. Often they are just metal rods that keep the belt somewhat tight to the pulley. Check these first as you should be able to visually see that they are positioned correctly. Other possible problems would be the wrong belt, a bad (bent) pulley or belt idler, or an incorrectly routed belt.
Your deck should have a couple "idler" pulleys on them in addition to the main mandrell pulleys that have tension on them via springs to keep tension on your deck belt. Maybe you need to really examine the condition of those "idler" pulleys and also the main pulleys to find the problem.
i had a 2148. you remove the mower deck as the first step. feed the belt over the pulley on top the transmission, then put it over the engine pulley. then have someone push the clutch pedal in so the tensioner pulley moves, put the belt in the guide pulley and on the tensioner. release the clutch put the deck back on and you are good to go. notice there are little keepers welded to the frame for the front, engine, pulley and it is easy to mistakenly put the belt over them instead of under them.
a general rule is that a pulley shaped like a Vee takes the V of the belt whilst a pulley which is flat takes the flat back of the belt. if you bear that in mind you will not have a problem putting belts back on. also there is a little decal on top the deck showing how the deck belt and deck drive belt go.
THERE SHOULD BE GUIDES, THE LOOK LIKE LONG BOLTS THAT ARE NEXT TO THE PULLEY, THESE NEED TO BE CLOSE TO THE PULLEY TO HELP KEEP THE BELT ON WHEN THERE IS DECK MOVEMENT ,. MOWER OFF , DECK DOWN AND ENGAGED.. SIT THERE AND STARE AT THE BELT AND PULLEYS TO MAKE SURE THERE ALL LOOK LEVEL AND TRUE, THE TENTIONER BRACKET CAN GET BENT EASILY. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE FOUND
Sounds like u think someone has moved a pulley.
If not, u already know that the back of the v-belt, or flat side runs against flat pulley, most of the time just taking up slack.
The belt probably pulls over the top of the pulley with the back side of the belt rolling on it. Your drive and blade pulleys will keep it in line.
Where's the belt tinsion come from? Spring idler or slide adjustment?
Some times it takes some head scratching but u can figure this out.
This is for a Scotts 1642. Picture yourself sitting on the mower looking down at the deck. Starting at the tractor pulley, the belt runs from the right side of this pulley to the left side of the tension arm pulley, around this pulley to the left side of the right hand side mower blade pulley, around this pulley, across the deck to the smaller left hand side idler pulley, then up to the left hand side mower blade pulley, around this pulley to the second (larger) idler pulley, around this pulley and back to the left side of the tractor pulley. If you make a small sketch of the deck pulley arrangement it will be easier. Keep in mind some of the pulleys are for the "V" side of the belt and some (The tension arm pulley & larger idler pulley) are for the flat side of the belt. Be sure the belt is not twisted and lays in a continuous circle with the "V" side of the belt on the inside before you start.
