Hey everyone newbie here,
I’m having some issues hopefully one of you more experienced guys may help out with. My riding mower keeps kicking the belt off and chewing it up. After taking videos of it I found that the problem originates from the tensioner pulley. My tension adjustment is currently maxed out and I have tried just flipping the L bracket around which gives it too much tension and activates the PTO. Either way the belt still gets kicked off.
In an attempt to help the issue I have replaced all pulleys, and spindles. But it still kicks the belt off and chews it up, belt will often be hot to the touch and same goes for the pulleys. Not sure what’s next.
