Belt Delima

[KC9KAS 4,741]

I searched "875 drive belt" and found the part number to be 6146 and a new number of 8005.
My local TORO dealer confirmed that 8005 was the drive belt for a 1075 and a 875....These are the only 2 tractors using this belt, and it is NLA!

During my search, the 8005 was said to be 1/2" X 72" and gave a Gates & a NAPA number.

I measured my belt and best I can see it is 70 5/8" long on the outside....Inside measurement would be minimally smaller.
Tractor quit pulling itself over the weekend and I had the belt routed under the guide on the guard instead of over the guide. My screw-up caused the belt to "smoke", although it did not break.
Can anyone confirm or deny the 72" length for a 875 drive belt??

Everything I see is 1/2" x 72" including the original parts manual shows 72"
