Kohler 5400 Series

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.

Always use Cub Cadet OEM Parts & always remove & inspect Idlers for wear by hand when replacing Drive Belt or Servicing.
