I was getting some vibration yesterday while mowing and then the primary deck belt came off. At first I didn't see any reason so I took the deck down and put the belt back on. Tried again and it came right off and was scrapped in a few places. So I pulled the deck off again and checked the pulleys to see if everything was turning freely which they were but the top pulley on the left side seems to be split. As if it's two pieces welded together so now half of it is twice as wide as it should be. I already have an extra belt but need the pulley. It was $19.99 at sears and another $2.33 tax and $6.99 s&h total $29.31.
I'm not sure why the pulley would separate like that since I didn't hit anything and it's not rusty or stiff. But I guess I'm entering that magical fifth year.
