The belt jumped off my Woods L59 and now I have to figure out how it goes back on. The pulleys on the spindles are pretty straight-forward, but the twists in the belt have me puzzled. It looks like there are too many twists on the left side between the mower deck and the idler pulley on the tractor (AC C).
Can anyone help me out? I'll post a photo as soon as I can grab and camera and get back online.
Thanks.

The manual for the L59 is on line at www.woodsequipment.com/manuals.aspx You will need to do a search for L59. All of the belt instructions are there.

| My experience has been once they come off they will continue to jump off. |

If you flip the belt over at least every year it won't get a "set" to it and jump off. Make SURE your idlers are at least an inch apart after tightening the belt. Another don't ask how I know this thing Proper alignment of the idlers is also important when setting it up.
