I have a 1997 Sears tractor mower, model 917.256522 that inists on shredding the mower blade drive belt. The belt started to smoke and smell a few weeks back. I thought it was the belt at first since it was old and perhaps erroding. I bought a new belt and installed it today. A few seconds after starting engine and engaging belt it became shredded and smoked. You could see tiny pieces of the belt near each pulley. I checked and double checked the pulleys and guides to make sure nothing was hitting against it. Also double checked installation. Couldn't find a thing wrong. Anyone have a suggestions before I haul it off to repair shop?
