The upper drive belt shredded while mowing. Old specs of belt 35.25 x .656 mtd original.
New belt non original 35 x 5/8 Kevlar.
When I looked the tensioner pulley or idler puller had no centre bearing at all. So I changed the pulley. Specs 3.06' as per MTD specs and it is an original MTD part.
So, new pulley and new belt. I was getting a rubbing sound ?
And when foot pedal released , no speed at all...unless I pulled back on the pedal , then I got some movement.
So I thought maybe change the lower belt too. So I did. Specs of new belt 71 x 5/8. Non oem.
Mtd specs 70.9 x .656.
With both belts having been changed the same issue...a rubbing sound ? And no speed unless I pull back on the foot pedal. I have a mtd powermore 420cc yardman, 13c2775s000 model. 2018.
Could the belts be the issue?
Maybe too wide or not deep enough re the pulley ?
Or not allowing the sheets in the variable to move up and down ?
I am at a loss other than the belts being the cause ....
Any help would be appreciated.
