 Hello George:

 You can View a Breakdown of the Mower at this Addy http://www.partstree.net/parts.asp and Click on Parts Look Up. Then Select OEM and Enter the Model Numbers T120G33 and Click Search. Then Double Click on the Model in the Search Results Area. Then Select the Cutting Deck, Belts and Brakes. From you Description I suggest you Check the Flat Idler(diagram #16) for Bad Bearings. Check the Spindle Assembly (#59) for Slop and Loose Bearings. Most times 1 of these 2 Items are the Cause for the Belt Jumping Off. If the Flat Idler or the Spindle Assembly Wobbles(tilts around) they will throw the Belt Every Time it is Engaged. Does the Belt have a Broken Cord in it? If a Cord is Broken in the Belt it will Not Run True and Will Jump Also. Hope this Helps. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Let me know what Happens, Please. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully
