I just had my lawn tractor serviced and deck belt and center pulley replaced. The service man said the PTO belt had a few rough spots in it but should work for a while. About 2 minutes after I engaged the blades the belt started smoking like a chimney so I disengaged it. Would a worn PTO belt cause this to happen? The service man said the other bearings were turned freely. Do you think one of the springs or brakes might be hooked up wrong? Thanks for your input

First thing is look and see if the belt is on all the pulleys.
Look at the belt guard pins at the engine pulley I have been in a hurry and put the belt around a pin
