Belt question.

[crossingcrown]

I don't know if i was looking in the right spot of the manual, but i couldn't find it. Does anyone know a good size belt for a 1250 with a 44A deck? It seemed to work very well last year, but seems to have stretched out a bit. i lost a lil bit of grass throw. It just seems to fall out now. Could this be a sign that my PTO is going bad? I am not sure what size belt i got last year. I am maxed out on my adjustment bolt. Any one else deal with this?

It's in the parts book.... for the mower deck.

Yes, belts stretch. Good ones don't stretch as much.

Thank you j. I used a kevlar cub belt from TS. Are these not good? I was using the old belt to compare. At the time, my tractor knowledge was not where it is now. Not thinking that belt would have been stretched out. Thanks again.

i run the kevlar belts from ts with no issue, the ones on my 108 are 4yrs old and still look new.

That belt is correct if you have the smaller center pulley on your deck. If the pulley is
5" you need 117465-C1 (1 inch longer)
