For model number 417.61722510
Hello Richard, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend replacing the belt, part number PS1148434. After 3 to 5 years of usage, the belt gets susceptible to wear and tear and can damage other parts like the idler arm. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order, anyone will be happy to assist you. We hope that helps.
