I think you just found your problem and that it is the belt being a half inch short.
Belts being shorter than spec'ed length is something I have been fighting with my aftermarket vendor all year. That why I am changing after market belt suppliers; I was tired of the constant fight to get the right size.
On the that mower nearly all my suppliers are spec'ing 1/2" x 88-1/2" with the exception of one model of LR 121.
I just got through throwing 3 brand new belts away that were supposedly 103" long to find out they were only 101-3/4" even through the packaging was labeled 1/2 x 103. No wonder the mower was smoking belts when disengaged.
The truest measure of society is the how it treats its elderly, its pets, and its prisoners.
