I believe someone is trying to pull one over on you. Look at sticker at backside of rear axle should be a K57 Tuff Torque. I have a 2010 Broadmoor that I purchased new June 10, 2010. I have 468 hours on hour meter. I believe you need a new Simplicity drive belt & two new idler pulleys. Post your Simplicity Model # example: 2690814. Where have you been taking tractor to be serviced? Dealer or independent shop? Always use Simplicity OEM & B&S OEM parts. In order to replace drive belt & idler pulleys mower deck needs to be removed. Suggestion, find a reputable mower shop close to home preferably. Visit shops & get references from owners & even your neighbors. My two sons & I all have Simplicity tractors, youngest son & I maintain all three. They bought their tractors used from individuals, Conquest models years 2009 & 2010. Oldest sons tractor had 117 hours on meter, youngest sons had 174 hrs. on meter. Youngest son & I serviced all three transaxles with Tuff Torque 5w-50 Full Synthetic Oil. Oldest son has 4 wheel drive all the time & power steering plus two filters to change. My youngest son found both Conquest tractors, different owners, on craigslist about an hours drive from home, paid cash bought low, replaced worn out parts with OEM parts.
