Took to the shop and had the belts and blades changed ever since I've had it back it burns belts up just about every time I get on it. Scared if I take it back he'll charge to fix what it seems he broke. Can anyone maybe tell me what I to look for so I could make the repair myself?
Thanks,
Clint

I would avoid that shop, sounds like they installed the wrong belt or have it so far out of adjustment its silly.

Hi,
Motion drive belt? Need a model number, and serial possibly. I would say it is a stuck idler, but that is a guess so far.
Peace,
Clarke
