Have a model 917-256600 craftsman lawn tractor and having trouble getting primary belt to stay on. put it on, and as soon as i engage the deck blades, it twists. calls for a belt p/n 148763 which is supposed to be 5/8 x 85-3/8". the belt i have measures closer to 85 long. could this be the problem??? Please help!! have NEVER had this problem replacing a belt. don't have the manual on this mower as i bought it used. Thanks.

I have a 44" craftsman #917.257730 lawn tractor and had a similar problem awhile back. I forgot (didn't know)that I had to put a twist in the belt at the transaxle pulley...the new belt was smoked in less than 1 hour of mowing. Also make sure that you have the "V" of the belt in the pulley groove and all pulleys are in good shape and inline.
