Craftsman DYT4000 917.275684
Purchased used Craftsman Riding Mower that Is in great condition. Runs great. Put on new belt a five months ago when I purchased it.
- Periodically the deck belt comes off the pulley attached to the electronic clutch on the crankshaft when I shut off the clutch. When the belt comes off, the belt is "twisted". The back of the belt is on the crankshaft. I have to twist the belt so the "V" will fit into the pulley.
- The five month old belt is frayed on the bottom of the belt.
- There is no belt keeper on the deck pulley on the crankshaft or the parts diagram which I find odd. There is a belt keeper on the drive pulley. All the belt keepers on deck appear good.
- The belt seems tight after I put it back on.
First mower I've owned with electronic clutch, so not sure how to troubleshoot.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks
