Mower belt....any ideas? Fixed! #7592909 05/27/22 09:05 PM 05/27/22 09:05 PM

I can't find a diagram and I've been trying every way I can. I think the belt is about a foot too long! Lol. Thanks for any help. Last edited by shanemoss; 05/28/22 12:15 AM.

Get some some trot line cord and run around it. Measure the cord so you know how long of a belt to get. Last edited by danny clifton; 05/27/22 09:20 PM.

Also both ways puts the v side to an idler pulley as bushmaster cautioned. Last edited by shanemoss; 05/27/22 10:25 PM.
