Default Why did my deck drive belt break?

This is my BIL's deck from his LT2180. I hooked him up with this tractor only a couple months ago after the Snapper ZTR that he bought new a couple years ago was turning into a POS. Looking back at it now I'm surprised the Snapper lasted as long as it did. He has only put 28 hours on the Cub, at the rate he's going I'm not so sure it will survive a couple hundred. Told him to keep it dry and to blow the cuttings off after mowing, guess that is never going to happen. Grass on the deck was starting to rot. This is the third belt in less than 30 running hours. Pulleys are perfect, spindles are nice and free. My guess is it's run WFO all the time and what ever they hit with it who cares. Man I hate it when people just flat out abuse nice stuff. I'm done hooking him up next time he should get a walk behind. Rant over.

I'll post some before and after pics of the hood of this tractor tomorrow. Just shoot me for trying to help this moron out.
