A loose belt on the deck of a Troy-Bilt lawn mower can be caused by several factors, including wear and tear, improper installation, or a misaligned pulley system. Additionally, if the belt tensioner is faulty or the belt has stretched over time, it may not maintain the necessary tension for optimal performance. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and address these issues to ensure proper belt function.

There are two belts on the 2146. One is the drive belt (PTO) from the engine to the mower deck. A second belt is used on the deck itself to transfer energy from the main deck pulley to the two cutting blades. Neither belt is intended to be tightened by the user. Both use a spring to hold tension on the belts. When they get loose, to the point that the springs cannot compnsate, they must be replaced. The belts are easily replaced. The tension on the main belt is released by means of alever ont he mower deck. The smaller transfer belt can be replaced by just man-handling it into place, or you can choose to pop the tensioning spring loose, instead, if desired.
