i will see what happens, know my JD lawn mower deck has its belt bent over backwads like that for many years now (old Belt) , if the jugs start comeing off i will try a reg. belt ,this is the old belt what came w/the engine.
i agree, they may be design differently or so "The Man" wants us to think, i will chuak this up to r@d project and see how long it lasts next step may be to get a mower belt to see what happens you never know untill you try . its not a big deal to put a belt on if it comes off and alt lite will tell me when it comes off. I do know that i dont hear that belt sqeal anymore
