A mower belt may squeak due to several reasons, including wear and tear, misalignment, or improper tension. If the belt is worn or damaged, it may not grip the pulleys effectively, leading to a squeaking noise. Additionally, if the belt is too loose or too tight, it can create friction against the pulleys, resulting in squeaking. Regular maintenance and inspection can help identify and resolve these issues.
