My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

slipping belt

15 years ago

have twin blade walkbehind mower. has 56" drive belt. uses hand control to apply belt pressure. put on new belt and adjusted lever for proper feel. mowed about 1 hr. son mowed again today and he said motion was jerky and than smoke was coming from belt area. did not look at it yet. odd. even 10 yr old original belt never made a squeak. if light hand pressure is applied, mower just slows down and even could stop. so belt does slip a lot. is it possible that new belt has more grip and just does not like to slip? standard v-belt. 1/2" width or maybe 5/8. old belt had many cracks but did not look real bad.
