Go back to your dealer.... big box store, and tell them to fix it under
warranty. could be that the belt was just defective.

What's NAPA


NAPA is a major (nationwide ?) auto supply chain.

and what's a sulky?


You're kidding aren't you ? You don't know what a sulky is ? It's a small 2
wheel platform that attaches to the rear of a mower that allows the operator
to stand on it and be pulled along behind the mower instead of walking
behind.

Order it online and installed and all it well.

Ok, not really that well. I'm concerned as to why the new one broke
and also this mower has a lot of vibration. Engaging the transmission
also is not smooth.

And I can see I'm going to need new wheels every year on the front .
I think rear wheel drive would be better.

Describe the break. Is it clean almost like it was cut, very jagged with
varying length "strings" hanging out of the ends, or what? Is is hard
and crispy where it broke or flexible like the rest of the belt?

and also this mower has a lot of vibration. Engaging the transmission
also is not smooth.


Vibration before or after the transmission is engaged?

And I can see I'm going to need new wheels every year on the front .

It means he can't "take it back to the store". It means that finding a
warranty center and/or shipping it somewhere may be more trouble than
fixing it himself.

Very good Art. You are right. Too much trouble.

I replaced the belt and it is ok for now. I suppose if I made an
attempt, that Amazon would hook me up with some guy in Houston that
would handle the warranty. But that's a lot of trouble and I actually
like to fiddle with stuff like that. Just like my HDTV I ordered
online, the sale notice said they do NOT accept returns.

However, I have window air conditioner that I paid nearly $250 for
that is noisy and had been damaged and repaired when I received it
from J&R company. I paid extra to get the 'ultra quiet' and they
sent me the 'ultra noisy' one. *******s!.
Again, the trouble you have to go thru to return or get an item fixed
sucks. That's why I try to buy locally even if I have to pay sales
tax and sometimes 10 % more.

The break was jagged and the belt number has changed since the manual
was written. I think they went to a heavier duty belt.

Now to find a source for wheels before they change the design....

Probably because you top-post, and hijack threads.

You always seem to give me a grin, Eggs. Ever since I upgraded to TB2

get truncated. Here is what I saw:
