My daughter/soninlaw have a 4018 w/m60(60" deck) bought used
4 years ago. After 2 months of grass cutting the deck drive belt broke. Have gone though numerous belts since then{lots of $$$}. Finally after trying many fixes/adjustments took it to dealer in Williamston MI.
They went over it and discovered the center deck pulley had been changed
to a smaller diameter to increase blade RPM. This results in not enough
belt tension. Just brought it home 8/20/2011, with new shorter belt
and will try it out this week. will report back later.
