gnrl 0 #1 Posted August 5, 2011 hi everyone. i'm dave from the east coast and i own a A-111 riding mower. yes i know, its not a true tractor but i use it as one! it is built great and easily hauls several small yard tools around. anyway, i am having a tough time replacing the cutter belt. the old one cut in half and did not have any markings on it because they probably wore off. i measured it at 1/2" and 68" and found belt 4L680 would fit. however, it clearly does not (to tight). so before keep going to buy random belts, does anyone know where i can find a service manual or owners manual for my machine? or, at least the belt size? it has provided me with years of service and id hate to scrap it because i cant find the right belt! best regards!

shorts 182 #2 Posted August 5, 2011 :woohoo: try parts tree, use your model and serial number to get the part number, the other thing that comes to mind is are you sure that the belt is routed correctly? The statement that the belt was cut indicates that you pulled out the reminants and not that you removed the belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOWTIE 226 #4 Posted August 6, 2011 Hello, I think your mower is a 1979. If so TORO number 107647 or 70.5" x 1/2". good luck BOWTIE IN COLUMBUS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gnrl 0 #6 Posted August 6, 2011 hi shorts thanks for the reply. thanks for showing me parts tree, ive never heard of it and it looks to be a great resource. partstree calls for a 1/2" x 67", i have a 1/2" 68" belt. anyway, it looks like i had it routed incorrectly. upon further inspection, the belt fits fine when i only use one of the idler pulleys. this must have been how the old belt went. on partstree, it lists 2 possible belt routes, each using only one idler pulley. one pulley is static (this route would have the blades always on) and the other route works with the blade engagement lever. the always on route is the left box the works with lever route is the right box. so i guess my problem is solved....but just curious if anyone can shed light on why 1 of the idler pulleys would not be used at any given time? what would be the purpose of the "always-on" route? thank you for your time, dave Attached File ( Number of downloads: 5 ) dispdiagimg.php.gif Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
