I recently picked up a JD L with sickle bar mower already attached. Previous owner told me he used it quite a bit in the past to mow along the road. The belt was not on it when I purchased it but he did have it. When I try to use the mower the belt does not stay center on the pulley and moves to the right side. From what I can tell the center of the propeller shaft pulley is lined up pretty close to the pitman pulley. I have made some adjustments and it still pulls to the right when it is under tension. I have never used a belt before so this is all new to me. Any suggestions to keep the belt centered? I have the owners manual and I am doing what it tells me to do but it does not seem to help. Could the belt possibly be the issue? It is the type that you join connect with a rawhide pin, or something like that. Thanks. The picture shows the belt under tension and it has moved itself to the right, rubbing on the frame of the mower.
