Hi All

Having a constant issue with my Kad32 buring through belts. This is on the main engine belt. After about 4hours of driving the belt is destroyed. It seems to be breaking along the ribs ( see photo attached). Any suggestions on what could be causing this?

Ayuh,..... Welcome Aboard,.... That's usually caused by one of two things,....
Rusty pulleys, or misalignment of the pulleys,....

While you probably already checked, make sure all the pulleys are free to rotate and not biding or wobbly.
