I compared my mule drive to one I have for a 129 with 44 deck and I noticed that the pulleys are the same but farther forward on the 1711 mule drive. The previous owner must have swapped out the 5/8 pulleys for 3/8. I ended up using the 129 mule drive with the 1711 carrage. With the 4 inch center pulley the 79" belt is borderline too long. I'm gonna give it a try and if it's too loose, I will swap in the 78" belt.
