My son was cutting grass for a neighbor on the neghbors tractor and grass accumulated next the muffler and caught on fire; luckily the only damage is to the belts. We replaced the drive belt and that is fine but mower deck belt seems to be about 1 1/2 inches short. The sticker under the hood shows 42" belt as part 1668066. If i figure out how to post a picture I will. Thanks for any advice.

Is there enough adjustment in the spring on the deck to cover that much length?

Here is a link to the deck with the belt routing and part #'s

...Photo Hint:

Turn your Camera Dial to the Tulip Flower on your

selector dial, that will give you a "Close-Up" focal point

and clearer photos...

Well I ended up getting a larger belt and adjusting the tension pulley rod and all is well. It was not the right part number but it work.

Thanks for all the suggestions
