I have exaclty the same problem with the same system.  It seeems like junk.  EXTREME frustration to put the belt back on and watch it pop right off.  My dealer said the belt was worn out, but I only mowed the lawn twice.  Someone had retuned this mower because they did not like it, so my dealer sold it to me as new with 3 year parts and labor warrentee and threw in the bagger for no extra cost.  I THOUGHT it was a great deal until I realized how wide the system is (cant get it in the pickup truck.  Anyhow, I'm really sick about it.  I'd love to know if you get any lasting solution.  I wish I could just reverse my purchase.

I bet it's a great mower as long as you don't want to pick up clippings.  But we especailly wanted to pick up clippings and leaves.
