[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 6729, member: 307"] IF... the belt broke running the engine won't hurt it becasue the pumps not turning. To check the belt take the plastic cover off on the flywheel end of the engine (held on with little metal spring clips on the Kubota powered one, 2 minute job) and look for hunks of V belt a busted belt or a belt tensioner (idler pully) thats hanging in there all crooked. The belt can come loose to and the machine just loose power, will drive but not with any authority. Often this symtom is accompanied by the squealing sound of the belt slipping as the demand on the egine exceeds the level the loose belt can transmit to the pumps. Ken [/QUOTE]
