Mower Deck belt size

Recommended Posts

All,

Sorry for the question that is probably asked 101 times a season.  I need two belts and don't know the size to get.  What size is the question.  Part number is even better.

 

One belt for a 42 inch rear discharge deck - on a WH 125

One belt for a 37 inch side discharge deck - on a WH 312h

The 42" RD deck would be 1980-1983 model 05-42MR01 or similar

The 37" SD deck could be 1986-1990 model 05-37SC01 using a double-V 6-sided belt

or

1990 model 05-37SC02 using a regular v-belt.

 

Belt charts that require a deck model number

Belt dimensions are on the last pages of the file.

I am still not finding the length of the belts. I was hoping to go to NAPA and purchase the belts.  Suggestions?

Get the toro belts. They have a oddball V shape (in between A and B ) and thus wear out faster if you just pick up a generic. Especially the 6 sided belt, doubt you will find that at Napa...

 

I tried using generics on an 8 speed drive belt and had a hell of a time getting it to work right. Put the OEM on and it was smooth as butter first time.

Added the model years to my previous post. That should help using the charts.
