The belt which drives the wheels has slipped off the pulley on the engine shaft. I can turn the belt, but can't get it back onto the pulley. Because this has, in effect, lengthened the belt, it does not drive the wheels as designed. How can I get the belt back on the pulley without removing the engine? Also...if the belt were to break, how can it be replaced without removing the engine?

I found a partial answer in the mower's manual (surprise!) which says that I need to remove the blade and the debris cover. However, in order to remove the debris cover, I need to remove the blade adapter. There are no instructions on removing this item from the shaft. Any help out there?
