The spindles are in great shape and greased. The blades are ome and new. The deck belt is new and ome also. The idler pulley is 4 months old but I suspect the problem is this pulley. The idler spindle does not seem bent and everything looks in alignment but when I turn the pto on the belt is all jumpy and comes off. The belts come off at every selection level. I had just cleaned the debris off the deck on top and on the underside. I just greased all the spindles and check alignment plus spray painted the deck to stop any rust and for looks. I have tried everything I know to do. I have made sure the deck was level also. I think the idler pulley is bad again and I am going to replace it and the tension spring that puts tension on that pulley.
Please let me know what you think may be wrong. I can't get the parts till October first as I am state employee and get paid first of month. Thanks
