416-H mower deck drive belt size?

[Mithral 14]

Cannot find info on proper drive belt size for my 48" mowing deck.

 

I have what I believe is a 1990 416-H (41-160E01)  with a 48" deck (xx-48SC02).  All parts guidance on the various web pages recommend a 1/2"x103" belt for both 42" and 48" decks.  However, this size is too long when I tried to replace.

 

So rather than go trial and error with buying several belts and seeing what gets me lucky, I thought I'd first post a note here.  Thanks for any constructive assistance.

Thanks Garry.   Maybe I have the part numbers wrong, or I have some kind of mis-matched tractor/mower setup.  The ops manual noted recommends a "102742 replaced by 94-2501 (1/2" x 103")"  however, the 103"  belt I bought is too long and won't work.  I guess I'll have to go back for a 102" and try, if not that then maybe a 101".

You are putting the belt on the inner and larger groove of the pto illustrated here?

Yes, Gary.

The inner larger pto.  I found a 1/2" x 100"  belt works.  I must have something wrong in the Model Numbers.   It is a 416-H which I'm pretty sure is a 1990 number.  The mower deck is 48" but the Model Number is partly damage so I'm estimating that based on 1990-ish numbers.  I could have the deck numbers totally wrong, and maybe also the Model/Year of tractor.

 

Thanks you for your input.
