Well was mowing the other day when the blade belt fell off, I took a look underneath the mower and noticed that there is a tube under the mower, back where the motor sits.The tube has a idler pulley bolted to it? the tube is welded to the frame the weld cracked and the idler moved forward from the belt tensioner and ripped up the belt.Took it to my dealer and he charged me $300.00 to weld it and replace the pulley? good thing I had a spare belt for him to put on because he did not have one. I guess I was wondering should this have happened when the the machine only has 265 hrs on it? does not seem like it was welded to well from the factory.Thanks John
