    Question:
    Why does my drive belt keep coming off on my new YTA19K42 lawn tractor????
    Details:

    I just bought a YTA19k42 tractor, I got it discounted because it had already been sold, returned for drive belt coming off during it's first use, and repaired. I work at this store, I know it went to repair and came back. In fact husq reps looked at it and said nothing was wrong with it...? I've used it 3 times and now the belt has come off again. My store is going to fix it again, of course, however I want to know why this is happening so I don't have to continually send this thing off for repair. Also when I try to register the tractor on husq's website i keep getting an error screen and can't get the registration to process...

    next day - Well my store just picked up this mower and yes it is the drive belt that is coming off. It seems that there is nothing on the "front" drive belt pully to keep it from falling off when you depress the foot break the belt just gets so loose that over time (3 or 4 foot pedal depressions) the belt just works its way off and falls off the pully. there is no adjestment on this pulley to tighten the belt as so obviously this is going to be a repeative and ongoing proble with the tractor due to the design of this drive belt system. Any suggestions for how to stop this from happening? while it is an esay fix, just reach in and put the belt back on the pully, to have to do this every mowing sessions is not going to be acceptable.
