They definitely sent out a bad batch of mule drive belts a few years back. I know because I bought three of them after they kept breaking. That was the mule drive belt for the 149. The belts were the wrong diameter--too thin.
I'm just saying, it does happen. There might be a batch of bad gaskets out there. It can be very frustrating.
