The drive belt on the Hydro 185 died a few weeks ago and I replaced it after some reverse engineering.
The new belt worked for a few hours of mowing but then jumped off the pulleys and now it wants to jump off frequently. The idler sheave that guides the belt onto the tensioner pulley seemed a little worn but when I turn it by hand all seems to work smoothly.
Some questions;
Any idea on what's going on ?
Where can I buy parts for this rig ?
Thoughts comments, ideas, guidance are all appreciated.
