169 mower belt size
 

I have a recently acquired 169 that came with a 50C deck. Not sure if it was the original deck. It did not come with belts. Does anyone know what size belts are needed to get it operational?
Thanks

If it is a 50C it will not work unless someone changed the center pulley on the mower. The C uses a 5/8" belt and the PTO on the tractor uses a 3/8" belt. You need to check the pulley size on the mower.

I'll have to go look.
I looked up which decks came with it and tractor data said 38 44 and 50?

:ThumbsUp:


There were three (3) versions of the 50" deck.

A) Model 50 for the 1x8/9 Series
B) Model 50A for the Quietline Series
C) Model 50C for the 82 Series.

Thus it is important to know the differences so the correct parts can be used.

Thank you for the info.
If I change the center spindle as mentioned, will it work?
Seems to be in really nice condition

It will, yes. If it has not already been changed.

Hot diggity dog!!!
It's already 1/2"!!

Do you know what size belt I'll née to the pto?

Just the pulley, not the spindle.

Pulley must have been changed by PO.

Do you know what belt I'll need? Thanks!

What diameter pulley did they put on it?:bigthink:
