The front wheel drive stopped working on my Murray 22 inch front drive mower. I couldn't get the cover off the wheel drive. I took off two big and two small screws underneath but the cover would not come off so I took off the blade, removed the 3 nuts on the engine pulley cover, found the belt slipped off the engine pulley. I took off the pulley, watch for the Woodruff key, kind of a trick to get it back into the engine pulley. The belt looked okay. The side of the plastic engine pulley may have to be replaced but I put the belt back on. Reassembled and it worked okay but I will eventually have to get the drive cover off and replace the belt. Any help here?
