belt length

I have a B212. The drive belt rubs on the axle. The belt is 54 inches long. The Simplicity number on the belt is 164080. Is this the right belt?

Chris, the varidrive belt will slightly rub the axle during range changes only. If it rubs all the time the vari-drive needs to be readjusted. Follow the setup instructions in the manual exactly and it will work great! In low range the belt should be riding within 1/8" of the top of the driven pulley. In high range the belt should be riding flush with the top of the drive pulley. Don't forget adjustment #3 the belt brake...it is also critical.
