I replaced the drive belt on my G5100, but I still have the same issue. It will run fine for a little while, then lose all transmission of power.

Thank you for your comment.
It sounds like, once the tractor warms up it affects the drive.
First, I'd check the belt's tension and ensure it's the correct belt for your machine.
Then, I'd check the clutch for slippage.
If they look good, check both front and rear pulls for wear.

We have the same issue, how do you get it around the shaft.

@@carriemullenax5043 I'm not sure how the drive belt goes around the steering shaft, my belt goes to the left of the steering shaft.
