Hello CB36266,
The capitol letter (I) is always used when referring to yourself personally. (Use the shift key to make a capitol letter). The first letter of a word in a sentence is always a capitol letter.
The small case (i) is used as part of a word.
A period(.) is used at the end of a sentence to clarify a single thought.
A comma (,) is used as a breathing space when a long thought is expressed.
This is not criticism but rather helpful guidance with you writing skills.
Aside from that, the definition of insanity is to "keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results".
Most people would have started asking questions or seeking help after a second or possibly a third attempt with the belt burning and jumping off.
Maybe take some digital pictures of the mower and deck fully assembled and installed and someone out here might see a problem.
Recommendations:
Can you look across the top of the deck blade pullies, and they appear to be the same height and level with the blades disengaged? Has one spindle been replaced and looks newer?
Often time the deck shell gets bent along with a broken spindle because someone hit something very hard while mowing. The belt problem is likely why it ended up at a swap meet.
Are both the right and left belt shields in place? On some decks, these also act as guides to keep the belt from jumping off.
Do you hear the belt squealing or smell faint burnt rubber after operating the mower deck a few minutes? That would usually indicate a bearing or belt alignment problem from excess heat.
Have a competent helper operate the deck while you watch the pullies and belt in operation with mower parked and brake locked. There are many moving parts, so don't attempt to touch anything, just observe. Usually, you will be able to see if something is out of alignment.
There is still much to check, but let's take small steps to figure this out. There is seldom any one reason for this kind of problem to happen, especially after so much work has been done to get this machine going.
