This happens to be an MTD built 834 series about 1995 build year,
Drive belt goes from engine to left side of deck. Mower blade belt is manually tensioned by lever. Belt is kept tight by idler with spring.
My belt seems to slip more than it should especially in grass that is a little tall. Trying to figure out if pulleys wear or belt or both.
Grandson has MTD , one series newer but with same belt, pulley arrangement and it slips about like mine. I know his has Genuine MTD belts on his. Just wondering if anyone has run into the belt slipping problem and what was the fix? Thanks.
