Belt friction against the guide bar is a common problem with this model. If the bar is level and the belt is routed correctly, the problem lies in its quality. It shouldn't stretch excessively when heated, and the strict adherence to this quality is clearly demonstrated by the hustler raptor 52 drive belt. It's manufactured using high-strength aramid cords, which minimizes stretching, dampens vibration, and keeps the belt aligned, preventing damage to metal parts of the deck.
