i have a Craftsman GT5000 48" well it mowered real good and than it start to smoke and smell like burnt rubber so i turned off look at deck and belt was turn around so i took belt off and flip it right and started mowering again the same thing does anyone what to do....thanks

Answer
The belt is worn. When you replace the belt, check all the pulleys including the tensioning pulley to see that they are all turning free and aligned. The spindles for the blades have bearings and can be cleaned and greased. The tensioning pulley just needs a drop of oil and needs to be replaced if it isn't turning freely. Mine did the same thing except the belt would roll over and jump off. A new belt solved the problem.
