Sears tractor keeps destroying pulleys

HelloMy Sears 1000 XLT tractor is driving absloulutely nuts . The pulleythat drives the left side blade keeps stripping. The pulley isattached to it's shaft with a star connection. If I hit a root orstick or for whatever season the blade is stopped the belt will keepthe pulley spinning and the connection is destroyed. The star openingon the pulley gets every so slightly stripped and enlarged and beginsto saw away at the spindle destroying both within seconds. Thishappens only on the left blade, never on the right. To replace thepulley and spindle costs me about $60 each time. so far in the twoyears that I have owned time machine this happened 4 times! Can anyonetell me what going wrong ?John

You're welcome. OK, we know why the lumber yard was named 84, so why was the town named Eighty Four? No definite answer.

anyhow since we're speculating as to the origin of names how do you suppose sears came up with craftsman? a more appropriate name choice would have been one of the following such as crafts-wimp, crafts-sissy or crafts-guy. of course, most do realize in Southern english sissy and guy are synonymous with one another.
