How To Tell When Your Mower Belt is Bad…
Last fall, our mower began to have some more serious issues with going forward uphill. Rachel reminded me before we left for spring break that it was really bad. So I replaced it tonight.
Over the past few years, it has taken a higher gear to move forward, but it was still working decently. I learned that a drive belt system with an idler pulley can help belts last, but they can go too far!
I am pretty sure this was the original belt on this mower, and it is a 1997!
