Is it the engine to deck belt, or the deck belt that runs the spindles? I have never seen an issue with the deck belt, but have seen some issues with the engine to deck belt.

Its the deck belt, not the engine to deck belt

I have several of the Dixie Choppers. Check the shoulder bolt that holds the idler pulley. If it is loose or the hole is worn out some, the pulley will lean and throw the belt. You might look horizontal along the deck belt line and check alignment.
