Cub Cadet XT1 - LT1 42"
Model #: 13AOA1CS056
Serial #: 18108H40302

Engine:
Kohler 5400 Series
18 HP /541 cc
KS540
SPEC PS-KS540-3011
Model KS540-3011
----------------------------------------------------------
OK, so now that I've found out what was causing the 20 Amp fuse to pop - Thh Unit won't go into forward and reverse.
- The drive belt is engaged properly into the pulley on the rear transmission.
- The drive belt is also engaged properly into the pulley on the engine.
- You can pull on the belt, and it is not cut in two or anything.

- Apparently it has popped off of the idler pulleys in the center of the mower?
- Does anyone seen this happen before?
- Any words of wisdom in how not to have to drop the deck and get the belt back onto the idler pulley's?

Thanks for any help.
