Breaking of lawn mower belts is typically caused by 1 of several things.
The first possibility is that there is an obstruction causing the blade to be stuck. If you don't clean out under the deck, the first run in the spring can cause the old dried grass to fall off under the deck and break a belt. I wore out a belt in one cutting because a stick got caught up on top of the deck and was rubbing the belt.
The second possibility is that the blade spindle bearings are worn out causing the blade not to turn, or turn slowly wearing the belt out.
The third reason is that the belts are out of alignment. This most likely happens if you have recently had to replace something else like a pulley stack, idler pulley, a spindle or the spindle bearings.
If you typically cut with the blade all the way up or all the way down, the belt will ride at the extremes on the pulleys and wear faster. Most people cut at a setting in the middle, but cutting at the extremes, may cause additional belt wear.
