Hello I’m new to this! I have a craftsman lt1000 model: 917275350.
I bought it used and worked 3 mows before it chewed up the belt. It got stuck under the left side pully I believe it’s the one with the spindle. I went and replaced it and mowed again no problem. I disengaged the blades and then went to renegade them and it started smoking and got stuck under the same pully. I have to always check the belt before I engage the blades now to make sure it’s not stuck, it never gets stuck when blades engaged already. Does anyone know if maybe I’m missing like a spring or anything on my deck that would keep the belt on the pully? It also starts very slow an winds up slow when starting blades. I have tried to tighten the tensioner cable but it’s one of the mowers that doesn’t have the bracket to tighten it. I’m going to add the pic I have of the deck. Maybe you guys can let me know if any parts are missing as I bought it used. Thank you!
