To burn a belt something is wrong. could be a belt keeper in the wrong place, or the belt routed the wrong way, would need some pictures to help out any further. I am assuming you have the older model with no idlers to seize up. Could also be the alignment of the deck, if it is too far down at the front it can cause problems, again pictures will help
