C950-52118-2 Belts Belts are falling off.

Check the belts, inside the unit you should see a rubber belt which is what pulls the tape fast forward or rewind. Some belts with time get loose and slip, they can also break and fall off which will not let you fast forward or rewind.
Open your cassette player and look where the plastic pulleys are located and check for the belts, they might not be broken at all but very loose and slip on the plastic pulley.

Could be your tensioner is locking up April.

Set the mower on its side prop it so it can't fall loosen the adjuster s remove old belts and fit new ones (the back axle belt could have slotted mount bolts as the adjustment.

after a belt has fallen off it will need to be replaced. belts usually just don't fall off. WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF! belt removed check the pulleyes and idlers a possible bearing failure or maybe a quill (the blade mounting tower) has a broken mounting point. A good website for ya mtdparts.com

Hello, How old is the belt? It is possible that you might need a new belt. Just like a rubberband, it can stretch and with age, it starts losing it's elasticity. If that's the case, then the belt would fall off.
I would check with the manufacture to see if they have replacement belts. They can't be that expensive and it would be worth a try.
Hope this helps.

Best wishes.

the belt fall off, open hood, gander. and bingo. belt loose or missing.
there can be 2 belts. if the water pump belt is bad the engine burns up. replace all belts there, using GY gator belts for max life.
or Gates belts.

Hi, It sounds like the sealed bearing has failed or the belt is getting chopped up. Take the bread pan out of the machine and see if you can turn the paddle by hand and it is not loose or sloppy. The sealed bearing is on the bottom of the bread pan. Examine the bearing to see it it is intact and not falling apart. If it looks broken then you will need a new bread pan. If this is ok then check the belts to see if they are in good order. Belts and motor are in the base of the machine. Be sure to unplug machine first before checking the belts. Hank

carefully check the in line alignment of all the pulleys, one is out of whack.

Belts just don't fall off, unless someone removed them. Please take unit to have them replaced
