At over $100 you don't want one from Toro.

The belt is a B x 65.95" or 5/8" x 65.95". The closest you will find from other suppliers is 5/8" x 66" but that is OK.

This belt was used on the medium frame tractor models. The long frame models used a 69" belt.

Make sure you get a replacement designed to bend backwards over a flat idler. The green Gates belts available from Napa is a suitable replacement.

Thanks Garry,

Any suggestion for removing the large pulley behind blower housing, has 2 set screws and a keyway.  Have loosened the set screws but not able to remove pulley, tried pounding on it to no avail, is probably rusted onto the shaft, has never been off for over 20 years or more.

If you remove the bolts holding the shaft bearing on that side and possibly loosen the left side bolts the shaft and pulley should pull away from the housing far enough to change belts.

If this gets you going come spring remove the set screws and keep the holes flooded with a good penetrating oil for the summer. It may break free.

:text-yeahthat:Once you get it wedged between the housing and pulley, pull on the belt so the belt and pulley move at the same time and it should go on. Some have enough room when removing the bearing bolts while others seem to put up a fight. Still easier than trying to get that pulley off.

Just for kicks double check that there are not  2 set screws in the holes.  Found that with mine.
