Sometimes in the middle of the night, you wake up and the lighting bolt strikes. This be the case regarding the breaking of PTO/Jack Sheave belts.
I knew there had to be a reason for the "extreme" tilting(angle)on the deck pulley.
Here is the culprit... The welded flange on the deck that holds the bracket...M136635 Arm that the jack sheave and pulleys support. This bracket is welded about 1/4" forward..to the front of the deck from where it should have been welded. This is causing the whole pulley assembly to run at a angle as shown in my other photos in another thread that I posted on Monday. Here is a photo of the...M78194 shaft with the worn areas (2) allowing these worn areas to wear much faster than normal.
To solve this mistake made by the JD factory, I will grind the bracket welds off, and position it in the proper location and re weld the bracket.
