Default 1772 mower belt slips

I was wondering if anyone else has issues with mower belt slipping under a medium load? I am getting ready for leaf mulching and have had problems in the past with belt slipping/ squealing.

I just installed a new drive belt and it still slips. (at least this is the belt I'm guessing is the culprit) Here is a pic of the pulley in question.(top pulley)... To me it looks like the belt sets very low in the driven pulley. Notice how the lower belt (blade belt) sets high in the sheaves....

Would a new pulley fix this? What about wider belt?
Thoughts?
