    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...
