Paul, you are obviously new to this forum and have not seen many replies I’ve posted. Blasting me in a thread that is over 3+ years old, means you have no idea how this mower works. Even though I’m a Toro guy, you will see that I don’t defend them if there were any defects in their design or manufactured flaws. The belt in question in this thread is a clogged belt, which will shred if debris gets between the belt and pulley. Second, this is a timed system and the timing and belt tension must be set properly, or the belts and pulleys will prematurely wear. If the OP did not set it properly and shredded belts, this will void the warranty, even you would agree to that. Obviously we will never know how this was resolved, but I’m willing to bet that an OEM belt was installed properly to specs and the problem was solved.
