Might be regional .. but there is one particular model (I think it was 42" deck) where it not only has a serial number break on decks used (before/after dates) , but also depending on "with spindle Assembly #.. xxxx" so for one cub cadet model with that deck, could be as many as 4 different PTO belts - not only do you need model and serial, but you also need to figure out which spindles the deck has on it (and all bets off if they have put in aftermarket spindles that were not originally equipped to it, or put on a deck that was not originally equipped to it.. ) 2 of those belts are within a 1/2 inch of each other. There's been a couple times when I've sold belt to customer by part number they asked for, it didn't fit, so they got a different part number, returned that too, and I ended up refusing to sell them any more belts until they brought the whole machine in so I could figure out which was which. One customer tried to return 3 different belts they had bought from 3 different stores, none of which fit, as a "credit" trade on the 4th belt because the stores would not take the belts back.KE4AVB wrote:I do agree that that OP needs get a matching set for the recoil and cup.
Kinda strange then that I haven't ran into that belt problem as I service a lot Cubs..
