Deck belt jumps off whenever my uncle mows with it, but he mows on the lowest height setting. Any way to keep it from coming off, maybe an adjustment.
New belt, idlers were still good.. I'm going to check to be sure the belt guide is "crimped" or whatever you call it closed enough to keep the belt from coming off the idler pulley.

I worked on an elderly gentleman cub that was the same thing. He insisted on cutting his grass to low and the belt would ride on the top edge of the idler pulley. I put some washer spacers under the idler pulley to raise it up so the belt would run more in center of the idler pulley. I guess worked ok never herd bay from him
