I have an old JD 242 lawn tractor. It has 6 forward gears. I use it for lawn sweeping and pulling small trailers. Lately the drive belt seems to be slipping in gears 4-6 when I am pulling a load or if am on a steep incline. I hear a squealing sound. I figure the belt has stretched or I have an idler pulley issue. I wonder if anyone has had this same issue with this model lawn tractor. Have given quick look see at pulleys and belt and nothing jumps out at me. Thanks for any comments.
