I did measure the belts. The 90" belt measured at 89.5" believe it or not! And the new belt measured at 89". So, KE4AVB, what bothered me about that theory my friend was that the plastic pulleys all had a flat at the bottom of the "V"...same as the flat at the bottom of the belt at it's narrowest point. I figured that even if the pulley sides wore, it would never get any lower than when it hits the flat bottom and appeared as though it was there already. Unfortunately, I didn't order a new plastic pulley to see the difference in the old pulley and new pulley. If (when) I get the tractor back to me, I will order a pulley just to ease my curiosity. I can mic the pulleys to see what type of wear it has.
