belt size

[btrrg1969 11]

I just swap'd out my 48" SD for a 42" RD , I now need a drive belt from the engine to the deck , can anyone tell me the size I need , I cant get to the toro dealer for awhile so I'll have to buy a cheapy from TSC or somewhere.

you can try here to get your belt number. Do you know the model # of your deck?

Once you know the right belt number, Napa or TSC or whoever can cross reference and get you a belt that should work. When you get a chance you should get an OEM belt, and keep the old one for a spare.

You can also go to "Parts Suppliers" in the links section here. Pinned under "Wheel Horse Tractors"

In most cases, the 42" RD deck drive belt is 98" long X

Pretty good - on the rare occasions it happens lately.

I use a 42" RD on my 416 sometimes, and the 98" belt is correct for that combo.

A little late but, I just put 2 belts on a 42" RD deck that I rebuilt the spindles, and put new blades on. 1/2" x 89" for the blades if you ever need that, and as TT said 1/2" x 98" for the mule drive / P.T.O.
