I have a Cub Cadet LT 2180. It's about 12 years old. 42" deck, 18 horse V-Twin. Lately the blade drive belt either jumps off, or just shreds. Today the $40 belt was 2 weeks old and on it's second mowing. About 10 minutes into mowing, it shredded again. Even if the belts were free, I'm tired of having to stop and replace the belt, knowing full well that it won't last long anyway.
I've checked all the pulleys, they are free, not damaged, not visibly worn, not out of alignment. Nothing is catching on the belt to damage it and it is tight. I don't know what to try next.
I've searched on-line for a solution and it looks like nobody else is having this problem.
Any suggestions?
