Re: rerunning the belt on an o6 self-propelled Lawnboy
You may have to loosen the adjustment a bit to let the transmission tilt farther forward. Do not loosen the other nut on the adjustment, that way you will know how far to re-tighten the one you loosened when you have the belt on.

usually john the belt will stretch and start slipping. if you take off the cover and see if the belt is still on the pulleys turn it a few times to see if it is tight if not replace the belt.
If you have the smell of rubber burning the belt isn't gripping. Make sure that there isn't anything stopping the wheels turning like old grass or even a piece of twig. If their clear try adjusting the tension on the drive pully.
Check the blade bolt is tight, if the starter kicks back it may have sheard the flywheel key, to check this you will have to remove the starter and flywheel.
Typically self-propelled mowers are propelled using the front wheels, which only turn forward. Pulling the mower back while the front wheels are turning will damage the drive gears. It's best to raise the front wheels slightly off the ground before pulling back.
