Thanks, Email icitrish@aol.com
james Sams, make sure that you have the right drive belt. there are different length that could cause this. Otherwise, just follow the manual to replace the motion drive belt:"

Park the tractor on level surface. Engage parking brake. For assistance, there is a belt installation guide decal on bottom side of left footrest.

You can get the manual from here.Hope this helps, good luck.
@M Gnzls no it will not be identical. Your 917.252932 appears to be a Sears YTV 16 Varidrive mower. Make sure that this is the right number etc. since it would be a relative older riding mower/tractor.
Yes correct it's a sears ytv16 older mower problem is I can't find a diagram of the ground belt installation , would u know where I can get that info. Any advice will be appreciated , thanks
@M Gnzls lets see if there is an old manual for it around somewhere. We are looking for the motion belt correct? Since it is a Varidrive it should have a primary and a secondary belt from the motor to the axle and it should be a straight mount. Let‘s see….
For anyone using the OEM 130969 drive belt, one thing that helped me was comparing the routing to the old belt before taking it off. The routing looks simple until everything is apart, and it's surprisingly easy to get it wrong. Taking a couple of pictures first saved me a lot of time during reassembly.
