Quite some time ago I got a new belt from the dealer I always bought from but recall several times over the years trying to put in on and it just always seems too short.
Some info that might help: My (IH) 42" mower deck ID is 422U1113. The number on the old belt (still usable but noticed when putting the deck back on today that it seems very stretched out) appears to be 473462-R4. Tough to read at this point but I believe that's correct.
The new belt I'm referring to that seems to not fit has the following sets of numbers: 3568 Made in Mexico; 490489-R2, and also 4 sets of numbers:
0420 246
0420 247
0420 248
0420 249
I'm assuming the longer 490 number is the belt number. Can anyone tell me if this belt is indeed the right one? And if it isn't, what part # should I be looking for?
What I'm referring to is
the belt that goes from the mower center pulley up to the PTO.
Thanks for any advice...
UPDATE: just did a search on the old belt #
and came across this So assuming that's what I'm looking for? Didn't know if over the years the part # might have changed. If that's the right one, I'll check around for price comparison. If that other (new) belt is the wrong one, I'll try to sell it.
