sraces 0 #1 Posted September 19, 2014 I have a 1995 Wheel Horse 314-8 (Model 73400) that I purchased new in 1996. it has been my pride and joy for mowing the yard. Before leaving on a long driving trip a week or so back, the PTO to mower deck belt broke. This was the original belt! I ordered a new Toro V-belt Part # 7473 and it arrived today. I removed the guard from the from belt assembly so the new belt could be put on around the front adjustable pulley assembly. It seems that the belt is 5-6 inches short or reaching around the PTO pulley so I can attach everything and put the cover back on. The front belt assembly is loosened up all the way. I called a dealer and confirmed I have the right belt. The wife and I measured the belt and it was roughly 83 inches. Any insight as to a procedure for installing the new belt would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Steve Stubbs USAF (retired) Lake Park, GA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sraces 0 #4 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Guys, Thanks for the replies. I just figured it out. Will definitely need the 102742 belt. it's 103 inches long. Appreciate the feedback and the pdf files. They were great! Steve Stubbs USAF (retired) Lake Park, GA Edited September 20, 2014 by sraces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
