B100 Hydro PTO/Deck Belt Length

[Rooster 192]

Hey guys,m I have looked and cannot find the information on a belt length for this.

I need the belt size or # for the belt that goes from the PTO to drive the deck.

I don't know what is going on, but I took the old shredded belt off, matched it up and the new belt is too short, it is 88".

Now, the old belt appears to short to even go back on??

When I took it off, it was UNDER the deck pulley, not on it? I figured it slipped off when it shredded.

The whole mess was caused by the pivot shaft sliding out into the pulleys on the mule drive.

Is it possible the PO had the belt under the pulley and it worked?

The thing cut great, was a little bit noisey but seemed to work fine? I had maybe 4 hours of mowing with it when it failed.

Make sure you have your mule drive loosened all the way up also..

Did you loosen the mule drive? I've done that before, tried to put a belt on and couldn't get it. It turned out that I never loosened it.up.

Yep, so loose it was into the axle!
