you should take a picture of how the belt is on there now so you will know how to put it back on. check to see if the blades will spin freely with it not running of course. put your hand under it and spin the blade. if they don't spin you may have something wrapped around the spindles causing the blades not to spin causing the belt to smoke. if the belt is cracked or missing any chunks you may want to replace it. take a picture so you will remember how it goes back on.
You can get instructions from the Columbia web site. Go to "columbia.com". Go to the search box in the top right and enter "watches".
The next page shows a picture of a watch and just below it there is an instruction which says "PDF.............................", click on this and you will see a list of instructions, choose the one that is similar to yours and download them.
First things first! Before you installed the new belt, did you check
the blades and idler pulleys to see if they all turned freely with no
resistance while the belt was off and the blade brakes released? Release the blade brakes by engaging the handle with the engine off!
When you installed the new belt, did you put the back side of the belt
against the flat pulleys and the inside of the belt in the V-pulleys?
Did you double check to make sure you didn't inadvertently miss a belt
guide getting the belt on the outside of it instead of underneath it.
Did you look at the picture in your owners manual to make sure you had
it routed correctly and make sure it is not rubbing against anything
when you have the blade lever engaged? CHECK THIS WITH THE ENGINE OFF
If you don't have your owners manual, look under the foot boards on the
tractor, many of the Sears tractors have the routing diagrams there. If
it is not there you can go to searspartsdirect.com , enter model number
917.257644 (NOTE the number difference) and look at the picture of the
deck, it shows what the belt should look like when it is installed. You can also download an owners manual there. As best as I can remember, there is no adjustment for the idler pulleys.
