Everything looks good on both decks yet that exact belt keeps coming offLooks like both call for the 754-05022A or 954-05022A belt which according to SBD is 108.3 length. Are you sure that all belt guides are in place and not bent. Missing or misaligned belt guide can cause the belt to come off when the deck is disengaged.
The spindle covers are on. The belt seems to be coming off the front pulleyAnd the spindle pulley covers are belt retainers too.
Also note where the belts are falling off.
Yup both are on. I wonder is the belt supposed to ride on that rod? There is room for it to come off the pulley and pull through. I was thinking of bending it up a little. I bought that 107.5" belt so maybe that will help. Hope it disengages correctly.Okay is this belt retainer in place at the engine pulley?
