Landlord DLX mower belt pops off

I've got a Landlord DLX with the 44" deck and when I mow at the highest height the belt keeps popping off the PTO. Makes sense because when I look at the belt it's running downhill from the mower deck to the PTO, any good bump, or when I raise the deck, it'll pop off the pulley.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and had a simple fix. Right now I'm looking into getting a Broadmoore PTO clutch because it's shorter with the same size pulley. This should raise the pulley on the clutch higher and thus help keep the belt more level.

The same thing happens on my 54" deck. Can't figure a fix so I'm just glad for the idler release handle. Do you have a problem with the belt twisting on the deck?

Not twisting so much on the deck, but twisting enough from the deck to the PTO to cause it to pop off. Changed out the PTO to one from a Broadmoor and it's all fixed. May need to shim it down slightly at some point because it sits high enough don't want it to pop off if the deck is too low now.
