I have a Cub Cadet SLTX 1054 mower thatis three years old and will not keep the deck belt on the tensioner seems to work fine , the belt is the correct belt. The dealer can not find any thing wrong it will just start throwing the belt off it started this about 3 months after I purchased the mower. Sometime the belt comes off and other times it destrories the belt these belts cost alot. the last time it came off it caught the wire to the pto and broke it causing the pto to not fully engaged fixed that by soldering and section of wire back in but pto still goes on and off.I was told that the battery keeps the pto engaged so I replaced the battery did not help. Then a repairman told me that there was a recall on the tension spring and I needed to replace it with the new gold colored spring that is stronger but the dealer has not heard of this recall. I have tried to move spring mounting bolt to give greater tension but it made the belts hit each other and I only drilled the new hole 1/4" futher back on the same lineto keep everything lined upas close to original. If anyone has heard of this recall no can offer any help or advice it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bill
