JD Gator Transaxle Problem -- Help

My guess is that your pulleys are gummed up with dirt to the point that the sliding half of the pulleys aren't slideing in to meet the belt. That's about the only way the belt could be loose enough to come off the pulley.
Try lubing the pulleys with some WD 40 where the little triangular holes are around the sliding half of the pulley and on the hub of the pulleys where the sliding half moves in and out. Be more than generous with the WD 40 to flush the gum and grit out.
If the pulley system and belt are original equipment a new belt wouldn't hurt and if things still don't work probably a replacement of the cams inside the poulleys along with the new belt.
Frank.

JD Gator Transaxle Problem -- Help

I've never had to take one apart so far, so I won't give advice on something I haven't did. The WD 40 has always worked for me so far, but with 16 years of use things are probably getting worn to the point that an overhaul of the pulley assemblys is needed.
Someone here probably has a service manual that would share the steps needed to take them apart. Frank.

One thing about having major brand equipment, parts are available for a long time, altho your wallet may suffer.
