If the belt is not on the right way, it will shred or even break. Belts have a flat and a curved side and they need to be threaded past the pulleys in the right way. After I got my Craftsman lawn tractor it broke in 2 years, now it has been 4 and in good condition. I think they wear after using a few seasons and loosen up which then make it wear faster.
