Got the deck fitted up and working. Had to go buy a 1/2 x 85 inch belt. The deck/mower belt table says an 81 inch belt would fit, but it was several inches short. Could not find a 3/8 x 85 belt, but the 1/2 in belt seems to fit OK.
Next step is to fit up the snow blade, but I'll wait unit I can show my son in law how to remove the mower and install the blade. I'll have to make a lift rod, but I have a piece of 1/2 inch steel rod so that will be straightforward to fashion a new one.
