    1554 keeps throwing deck belt when first engaged

    I had a friend watch while I engaged the PTO, he said it looked like it jumped from the tensioner pulley. We noticed the bracket seemed to be loose. I removed the deck, took the bracket off, found stripped threads where it went thru the deck. I put a couple of washers to keep the nut away from...

    1554 keeps throwing deck belt when first engaged

    Idk, I fill my vehicles all the time and it's less than $70 a fill up, anywho from what I can tell it's not the spindles, they all spin freely as do the tension pulleys. I made sure everything was spinning freely before I started today and it still threw the belt. Thanks for you input however.

    1554 keeps throwing deck belt when first engaged

    Every time I engage the PTO belt drive it throws the belt. What's weird is it's only the first or maybe 2nd time. I put the belt back on and it works fine until I shut it down for several minutes or overnight, then it throws it again. I put a new spring on it but that didn't help. Any ideas?
