I have an IS1500 with a 21hp Kawasaki, 48 inch cut, and broke the bonded belt on hyd. at 175 hours no big deal. I replaced with a Gates brand belt and it didnt last 20 hours, so I went back to Ferris dealership and got another one. Now the new belt will ride up on the left hyd. pump and get against the frame of mower and start smoking. I have checked the pullys everything looks and spins good, I set the tension on the belt just like the manual says. It will run a couple hours before it does it, I thought maybe sweet gum balls where getting between belt and pully but it has done it when I was cutting where there was no sweet gum trees. I thought about changing the tension spring to see if that would help. Any suggestions?
