Well, reset it and was only short distance and mower belt kicked off, and drive belt now chewed up and off track also again.

I have used Super's for years and presently have 8 2182's. My experience has been don't run B section belts, but rather a kevlar lawn mower type belt or OE belt. B section belts do not like twisting or ran though back idlers and will get very hot in a short period of time, then start flapping making them rub on anything close to it. Also check the idler spring tension as it should be tough to push in on the idler link to lock it, and should not need a helper spring. Also make sure both idler brackets swing free and do not bind on the cross shaft. I have seen many of these cross shafts bent not allowing the idler brackets to swing free thus not allowing the tension spring to work. You may have to remove the mule drive, carefully remove the cross shaft because of the spring tension and check to see if it is bent, then clean/lube the shaft. Some of these idler brackets have grease zerts also so check for that and lube first.
