Sometime in the last 5 days I read a post in this forum where several writers wrote that the drive belt keeps slipping off their new(er) power lawn mower. I've since spent over an hour trying to find that post but can't. One of the posts said it takes an hour or so to reattach the belt.

Does that ring a bell with anybody? I cannot remember which brand mower had the problem but I suspect it was either Troy-Bilt or Toro.

There is a Troybuilt (MTD) model that can take a hour or more to replace the belt on, But to just reinstall one that rolled off I can't see more than a couple minutes.
