Hi,
My mower is a Craftsman LT 1500
I replaced the drive belt, and checked the variable speed pulley to make sure it was sliding and rotating freely.
The mower will jerk when I let go of the clutch quickly, so I am pretty sure there is no problem with the transmission but slowly looses speed until it stops.
No gear noise, no belt squeals.
If I try to drive up a mild slope, it will slow to a stop because the belt starts slipping.
I haven't figured out if there is an adjustment that I can do to tighten the belt and where to do it.
I have attached a diagram from the manual hoping someone can tell me if and where there is an adjustment I can do.
Thanks
