I just bought a deck for my 310-8, it’s a 42inch rear discharge, it came with a complete parts tractor, but I need new belts for it. Does anyone know what size belts I need?

Dropped by to throw out a question around my 1986 x310-A with a 42" deck. Blew the belt on the deck today so this info was very helpful in getting me on a path to correctly ID the deck, and so now I also know what belt I need. Meanwhile, is it me or is this rig incredibly loud with the blades spinning? I put my ballistic ears on and even those could be a little stronger in the sound blockage department.

Yeah I thought mine was loud too. As long as nothings rubbing or grinding I think it’s fine.

I ALWAYS wear my 30db "ears" before I even start a motor (mowers, chipper, chain saw, pressure washer, trimmer, blower, generator, etc.). Makes them all sound fine to me. :D

Don's got the right idea! Heck I even wear mine so I don't have to hear kids squeal. So, I'm wrestling with the deck belt right now. This was after discovering both spindle pulleys completely scaled. Meaning, thick corrosion inside the "V". I chipped all that away good enough for now. We'll see if pulleys running a belt that are smoother will make a difference. Otherwise I hope to get 2 pulleys and an idler in here sometime soon. In fact, I'll plan on refurbing the whole deck based on lots of great ideas you guys have in the forum.

if the mower deck noise is excessive - this could be the result of a loose idler ... too much movement of the idler ... too loose ... nylon bushings / washers and /or the idler bar could be excessively worn ... spring lost tension (?)

 

one telltale sign - noise increase as idler moves back and forth when deck / blades are engaged 

 

corroded pulleys (inside portion that contacts the belt) can destroy a belt - sometimes in as little as a few hours ...  (just something to consider)

      Found these at Lowe's.  Same belts as TSC, just different packaging.  The 86" I got was on clearance and is not being stocked anymore.  They had sizes from 87" to 109" in 1/2".  Not a lot of 5/8" belts that would be useful for our tractors.

      I have a 1996 520H Wheel Horse for sale.  The tractor has just over 800 hours on it.  It comes with a 48 inch deck.  The deck is a 1995 and has over 1,500 hours on it, as it came brand new with my 312-8 that I sold several years ago.  This 520-H has the swept front axle so it can handle a 60 inch deck.  I just replaced the battery and the deck belt this summer.  The engine is a 20HP Onan and it starts right up but requires the full choke.  The transmission is an Eaton 1100-062, hydrostatic.  The deck is in rough shape but the spindles appear to be in good working order.  The right rear tire has some cracking.  The original operator's manual for the 520H is included, as is the original operating and maintenance instructions for the deck, plus the installation instructions for the deck.  Also included is a new PTO belt and several miscellaneous deck wheels and rollers.  Additional pictures available upon request.  Asking $500.

      Gentlemen,
       
      I’m having trouble with getting my deck to raise up and lock and I think it might have to do with the deck being incorrectly set up. 
       
      Based on the picture, does my mower deck look incorrectly positioned? That is, should the pivoting support bar be positioned above or below the wheel support pin?
