I replaced the belt and after less than 5 minutes it rolled. it has a electric clutch and all the pulleys seem ok. The first belt lasted 3 years with no problems, the mower is 3 years old and the first belt gave no problem until it rolled abd broke

It sounds like a tensioner has gotten mis-aligned or a pulley has broken. Check the routing of the belt and check the pulleys for rough edges or missing pieces. There should be a belt routing diagram on the deck or in your owners manual to help make sure it's correctly routed. If you can't find the problem any small engine shop should be able to check it out. If you can't find the routing diagram check with a store such as Lowe's they have access to this information. If you need mower mechanic ask who does their work.

I think that if you look real close the tensioner pulley is out of alignment. Same thing happened to my craftsman. When the pulley has tension on it it gets pulled out of wack. I was able to shim mine back into shape.
