I have a 48” Taylor Way finish mower. Lately the belt keeps falling off. I’ve tightened the belt. The pulleys seem to be ok. I am wondering if the v of the belt has to be inward on the pulleys or is it something else? I would appreciate any advice
Oosik's routing suggestion comes first as it is easy and cheap. In addition to the pulley checks described by RjCorazza also check the profile. The sheaves should have a straight sided "V" profile so the sloped sides of the trapezoidal cross section of the belt engage properly. After several hundred hours the belts on my JD F510 had worn the "V" into a "U" that allowed the belts to quickly roll and fall off or self-destruct.... The pulleys seem to be ok...
