I have a 2320 compact with a 62d1 mower deck. I have streched out 5 belts in 1 yr and the dealer says they cant find a problems

What is the rest of the story?

I'm cutting hayfields with my 4110 and after several seasons my only maint. to the mower is grease and sharpening blades.
Something is not lining up. You need a mechanic with a keen eye as I'm told those belts are not cheap.

It sure sounds like there is way too much pressure / spring on the idler pulley. Those are supposed to put just enough pressure on the belt to keep it tight, and free from slipping. Off the top of my head, I can't think of what else would stretch a belt, but not break it.

I had gone back and checked all the pulleys . 5 pulleys were out off level from front to rear, and 2 were actually higher than the rest by 1/8" or more. I will be taking it to the dealer in the AM. I'll let everyone know what they say

Went to the dealer and the so called mechanic says the pulleys out off plunb and not on the same plane is normal. Well I'm mechanically incline and I know for a fact thats not TRUE. If anyone has had this issue please let me know
