G 2160 DirectShoot bagger. Bought it after it had been sitting in the yard or PO for a couple or more years. Have most of the issues worked out. One electrical issue and my most frustration issue/problem..
The deck on this machine has 3 blades, 1 turning opposite direction of 2 that pushed clippings to the center discharge. I mowed a couple times with the beat up and cracked belts to clean the pulleys. News belts and mowed several times until the short belt rolled over while mowing. After that is last a very short time. I just ruined the 3rd belt on in 5 mowings. Belt is much cheaper than having someone cut this acre+ but time and inconvenience in a PITA. Any suggestions as to why this belt rolls over?
The pulleys are clean but the idler and spindle pulleys did take get more than surface rust. both have pitting but turn pretty free. New spring on idler. Deck does make more noise than engine so I assume that I have bearings to replace but wanted to wait until winter to address that.
Thanks in advance!!
