Wheel Horse 48" Mower Drive belt

[caddisman 3]

I have wheel horse side discharge mower deck and unsure what belt to use for the drive belt. The mower is on a 14hp 8 speed Automatic from the mid 70's. The belt look to be around 3/8 wide and 96 inches in length. I cant read the original numbers. Can anyone help?  Thanks, Anthony

The model 5-1210 deck uses a 102742 drive belt that is 1/2" x 103".

Spindle belt is 1594 which is 1/2" x 107.21"

 

Decks are sized by their width of cut - not the width of the deck.

 

Tell us more.

Thanks Garry. My mower would be the 5-1010. Thanks for tip on the size of the mower. It would the 42 inch model. Do you know what the correct belt for the 42 inch deck.?

 

Thanks,

Anthony

The 5-1010 uses the same 102742 drive belt that is 1/2" x 103" as the 48" deck.

The spindle belt is 6738 which is 1/2" x 86".

 

Make sure you get a belt that is designed to bend backwards over a flat idler.

 

If you ever get stuck search the Manuals here using the word chart.

There are not that many to pick through to get the one you want. The belt dimensions are on the last pages of each belt file.

How about the blade numbers  And where can I get a set? 48" deck. Assuming that belt info is the same?

Do you know the model number and serial number of your deck? Here is a list of the decks. Belt numbers may be the same but I like to check against the model number to make sure.

Should have included - 

If you know the model number of your deck find the ipl (illustrated parts list) in our library. The file description page should have the belts listed and the blade part numbers on it. Saves you having to download anything to see them.

Here is an example.

Clicking on the picture will take you to the file description page where this info is posted.

Clicking on Download will take you directly to the file.
