Had my RSX out on the weekend and went into some water crossing that I assumed wasn't too deep. Had the water level at about 2" above the floor, and then the belt started slipping. I was only in that deep of water for about 1 minute.
I am thinking that the belt should not have gotten wet that easily? I am suspicious of the belt cover not properly sealed for this reason: When I purchased this unit brand new from the dealer. They had told me that the engine had been replaced under warranty from JD due to a broken oil fitting or threads. So...... the local dealer replaced the engine with a new unit, all prior to the sale. I am thinking that maybe the tech working on it messed something up on the re-install?
Seems strange that it would get the belt wet that easy?
Any thoughts or experience on this subject?
