to theTell us more about your C-120.    Was it mowing fine before this happened?    Did the belt burn or tear?

If the spindle and mule drive pulleys are all free, it could be a stone or stick wedged in any of the four pullies used by the deck drive belt.

I buy all my belts at TSC.   Full refund if they don't fit.       A picture of the belt may help.

@Tom michael  there are 12  related bearings , to a pto , mule drive , deck spindle set up . bearing lubrication failure  , INCREMENTALLY stops the rotation , also  relates to  rough or whyining noise . that  stoppage , starts the belt  bouncing ,violent stopping and starting . this is a very common occurrence  to these bearings . another  tell tell sign of bearing failure is  pto lever belt squealing  , at  initial  trial  to spin up deck . agree with @ ED KENNELL on the possibilities  of deck  debris .  pete

if this is a new to you tractor, was it sitting a long time where the belt may have taken a "set" around the pulleys, then ran rough as you now started to use it.
