As title says, SCAG ZCat, with 36in deck is throwing the deck belt.
Nothing I see as obvious. Basically will throw within minutes of starting to mow. I thought I might have heard something of a click just prior to this last time. Grass was dry, going downslope, grass neither very tall or dense (actually quite light compared to sometimes).
Not the first time of course, but usually hours in between, but not now.
Spindles seem ok, but center one needed grease.
Belt was nearly new, maybe 5 hours,
PTO clutch braking premature on its own?
Alignment issue?
Open to suggestions.
