Always serviced properly. 4 wheel steering 1177 hours Threw a belt or broke belt, had it serviced while being repaired. Belt replaced. Used it 2 hours, broke belt again, replaced 2nd belt with instructions to check blade spindles. used it 2 more hours, broke belt again. Independent repair...

Thanks I'll go over those again, may have missed something.

Thanks Tomplum, will do. it is not cranking Yes PTO fully in off position.

In that i sometimes pull a 6 x 12 trailer and haul partial to full loads of furniture/antiques, etc. and i'm many times out in the boonies, i carry in addition to the regular necessary items a Dewalt portable battery powered air compressor and a battery powered (same battery as compressor) 1/2"...

Thanks, Checked all those prior to my original post.

Wont start, no electrical power. Changed ignition switch. checked fuses. battery good. cables good. plug good. Suggestions?

Added info: The belts didn’t break when engaging or disengaging the blades but but each time broke while mowing a strip of grass at 3 1/2” as I have been for years - just taking off the top 1”.

While mowing, have broken 3 belts, one that I had been using for two years and two new ones , all replaced by lawnmower repair shop. John Deere X 304 4 wheel steering 1025 hours, year 2006. Pulleys and tensioner are A OK. Any suggestions as to cause of my problem?
