Hey fellas-the drive belt broke. I went to local toro dealer, didn t have the OEM belt but sold me a Gates Hi-Power ll B79 21/32"x82" belt. I wrestled it on, but it seems too tight. The motor starts slower than normal, and the pulley on the motor is turning the belt when starting. I mowed a little but when I tried to shift it wouldn t, and I could smell the belt burning. Seems like the clutch pulley is not disengaging. Is the belt too short?
There is a thing above the engine drive pulley that appears to keep the mower blade drive belt down in the slot, but it also appears to touch the motor drive pulley. Did l over tighten this, allowing it to push against the drive pulley?
