That isn't right.  You need to make a mark on the belt then you need to measure around the belt until you get back to the mark. Should be around 70''- 95'' (that is the ballpark of sizes for lawn mower belts).

typo, I ment to say 100 not 10

That is 88 a stock murray widebodyLT belt for a hydro. And a 91 is longer. If your going to buy a belt. And its not stock. Then you need to find an old belt cut it and run it around your pulleys with clutch pressed in and run the belt around the pulleys not really tight but not real loose and overlad the belt ends an zip tie em together take em off still in a loop and go to an automotive store and ask them to mesure it. And thay have belts just aint gonna last as long. But if you feel confedent on your mesuring. Hold the end of your tape to the mark on the belt  and work your way around back to your mark and thats what you need

Hydros dont have clutchs.


The belt that I have is a 91'' from what I understand from that ebay post. It is a few inchs too big, I am looking to buy a belt that is snug between the engine pulley and the pulley on the trans.

Sorry If I am not being clear enough,


I dont have any of the idle pulleys other then the 1 in the picture. I want to hook the belt to the engine pulley and I want to hook the belt to the trans pulley. Simple as that. What Im looking for is a belt that I can do that with.

I would say cut the belt you have now, route it around the pulleys tight, and then zip tie it and then measure it, but im not sure how you could do that without a correct belt measuring tool. Wheres the original belt? Or are you making the wheelbase shorter?

And p.s. welcome to atltf- ive talked to you on diygk  Wink

I remember you on DIYGK aswell,


The original belt broke about a year ago and this this has sat and I got it about a month ago, The friend that I got it from has the broken belt, I guess it wont hurt to ask him if I can use it for testing purposes. I am not making the wheel base shorter, It used to have idle pulleys that would take off a few inchs of the belt but I lost them in the breakdown of the tractor.

Mine has a brake pedal and a pedal that engages the hydro, Is yours an automatic or manual hydro?

Im not even sure if they have manual hydros lol just sounded like something that existed.



I am out in the garage right now on my little laptop and I thought about something, Could I just cut the frame and extend it a few inchs? it would be alot cheaper than buying a new belt since I already have the angle iron and such.

 scratch Manual or auto hydro. I think you need to study up a lil bubba. The brake pedel operates the break and the clutch. And a pedel on the oposite side runs the hydro. The clutch arm part of the mower has been removed if it dont have one the plate on top of the frame in front of the trans is where its suppose to be. Under the plate.
