Would love to hear from anyone with a Snapper 52" Zero Turn like this one. I have been fighting it for hours and hours. The drive belt keeps jumping off. This mower has 3 belts. One that drives the deck from the clutch, one that drives the deck itself and one that drives the hydro pumps. The deck and pump belts work fine. I bought a new drive belt. Jumps right off as soon as ya start cutting, bought a new 1" shorter than stock belt. Jumps right off. Checked the tensioner spring. Its fine, clutch is fine. motor to front deck drive pulley bearings are good, no slop in the pulley. Who's got some ideas, because I know I'm not the only one that has had this experience. Ya'll give me some ideas please. It's insane I looked for hours on end just for the stinkin' drive belt lay out. Only found them for single belt models
the 2 red arrows point to the drive belt pulley and it's idler pulley. The belt goes from the clutch on the crank shaft straight across to these 2 pulleys. I even straightened up the guide for that belt (it looked bent out a bit, which seemed to help, but not a lot. it still jumps off
