CubCadet GT2544 PTO Belt Issue

[gfreek]

So the PTO belt from the engine, around the front V pulleys to the deck, is shredding, wearing on one side, or just breaking. Visually the pulleys look OK, PTO to front pulley alignments looks OK.. I'm replacing the front "V" pulleys anyways , one bearing is going. If anyone resolved this please post or a link.. I've seen many web posts about this, but none that resolved the issue. Thanks..

Looks for anything that may be rubbing the belt causing your issues. Also the idler with the bearing that is going could be locking up when it gets hot and then damaging the belt.
