Do you engage the pto belt at full throttle? Check when the pto engages to see if the belt jumps around. You will need a helper to do this. My X584 had slag coming off one of the brackets and it ate the belt up quickly. Check your owners manual because mine has to be at full throttle to engage the pto or it jumps around and will cause problems. Other than that just make sure your pulleys are aligned and no spacers are missing like in between the pulleys and shafts, just get a picture and blow it up to check the parts and make sure your tensioners are not to lose or to tight.
