    There should be an idler wheel that is spring loaded near the middle of the belt. Make sure the belt is on th inside of that pulley so that the spring is pushing inwards on the loop to tighten the belt. If you have it on the outside, the belt falls off as soon as there is no tension from the mower being in gear.
