Hello,
I am a beginner when it comes to mower repair.
I have a scotts s1642 and yesterday while mowing, the drive belt came off. I found a diagram showing the routing and took a picture and used the diagram to place the belt back in the proper location but as soon as I start the mower, it comes off again. I dont put it into gear or anything, I start the mower and look underneath and the belt is off. I did this twice. Each time after replacing the belt back in proper position, checking the tightness and re-tightening the spring loaded pulley, everything looked and felt great. Start the mower and boom, off again. Any ideas?
Thank you
Clint
