PTO Belt, which one is correct!

[Kali25 8]

I have a 416, Model 73423, serial number: 7900226 

 

Could anyone help me figure out the correct belt for the PTO to the deck? (I bought one 83" long and its too short! 

 

Thanks

Belts for the mowers are specific to the mower - not the tractor.

What deck do you have? or

Width of cut?

Side or rear discharge?

With your tractor model number and the model number of your mower deck you can find both belts on this chart.

Buy your belts at Tractor Supply.   If you keep the sleeve and belt clean, you can return them for a full refund and get the correct length.

I should clarify: the belt I need runs from the motor to the mower deck. So not the deck belt. Sorry for any confusion!

The belt from the engine to the mower varies depending on the mower deck is your deck 36...42...48 rear or side discharge???

I will measure the deck. I don't believe it has any decals anymore denoting size.

Measure the width of the cut, not the width of the shell.

Pictures would help.

 

48SD is 107"

42SD is 86"

44RD is 89"

PTO to 48" and 42" SD decks is 103"

PTO to 44RD decks 98"

 

Hope that helps.  Lowe's carries every belt except 86".

@Kali25    once hooked up how easily  does the  deck   move thru the mule  drive down angle belt?  can you move it by hand ?  thats your  spindle  bearings  feed back . often refer to that  area , its the collective  bearing  drag , that  makes pto  clutches  scream . and  devour belts  in all forms  , cracking / fraying  , burned starting areas . done a number of those . pete
