I took my deck off this weekend to clean and sharpen blades. I noticed the original belt tying the three spindles together was a little worn , so I thought i'd get a backuo at a local belt shop. It looks like you need to loosen the gearbox to get the belt clear for removal.
I discovered the nut holding the pulley to the gearbox was off and the threads are hogged out on the nut and worn off on the pulley shaft.
If you have a 52, You might want to check this next time you have the deck off.
There are several possible solutions, but I just reassembled and am hoping the pulley stays in place, It seemed quite firmly attached to the shaft.
