You don't say if it it the blade or Tranmission drive belt. Get a piece of new carpet remnants and spend about twenty minutes laying on it while you study and inspect the under carriage of the mower. Ideally -jack the mower up to eye level and remove the cutting deck retainers to drop it down one foot to a work bench or platform. Loosen the blade belt keeper post bolts on the deck and main frame to allow removal of the old belt an installation of the new belt. Reposition the keepers and tighten bolts.For the Transmission drive. Remove the cutting deck from the mower. Press the clutch and tie it to the floor.Remove the bolts from the left and right belt keepers at the chassic motor pully. This is as far as I got. It is not simple to get that new belt in there but hopefullt this week I will get er done and report back.
Easiest way I found is to hold up the rear of the tractor with a come-a-long/rope with wheels off the ground,remove both wheels,remove everything holding the rear end in place leaving the 2 back bolts in "loosened to the max" that hold the tranny to the frame,remove clutch pully,remove steering snap ring and pull the steering wheel up out of the way,remove the old belt and replace with a new one,repeat steps backward to finish the job.

I believe it has to do with the main drive belt. (The brake on these types of mowers are almost useless.) If the main drive belt is to short it engages the slip pulley that drives the transmission. I replaced an original belt that was bad with a replacement that was about an inch shorter and my mower would not stop. Replaced the belt again with the exact size required and problem solved ... BUT ...About a month later the same thing happened. The mower would not stop when i released the drive pedal and i ruined my transmission "snapping it out of gear to stop the mower. Now i suspect it may be a worn "slip pulley" causing the main drive belt to ride closer to the spindle on this particular pulley, this , I believe , will cause the pulley to turn faster thus engaging the transmission. This pulley is similar to an adjustable type but it "slips" . On my Troy Bilt it is located in the rear right over the transmission. Hope this helps someone because i have spent hours trying to solve this problem.
