    I love how the house smells when baking v belts on the oven. Make sure it doesn't dry out, I suggest brining it.


    :rofl: :lol:

    Seriously, baking the belt a while is probably your best bet. Sounds like a bad design if they have a tensioner pulley and it doesn't allow the proper belt to simply slip on.

    As much as it appears the belt you have is short, I would say 1/2" longer will work just fine.
    Is it possible that the tensioner is not fully backed off?
    Don't get your finger pinched here...:whistle: ;) :D

    I believe it was 22 bucks on ebay, oem part. Went to the dealer yesterday, they looked it up and it is the correct part. Got a 1/2" x 40" belt at TSC this morning, still tight, but managed to get it on...cleared leaves for around 5 hours today, worked great.

    You missed a few!!! Glad you got it done. Did you compare the lengths of the two belts side by each?

    Should be white in the yard, not green.

    Glad you fixed it; always a great place for advice!

    stuckinthemuck...I think the difference was a true 1/2" although it is difficult to see in a circumference
