Hi, I broke one of the transmission belts on my 72 inch (three spindle) mower. I got a new belt from the dealer (it had to come from Canada!) I pushed the input gear box all the way back to get the most slack and darn if I can get that new belt on. Seems as if it is about 1.5 - 2 inches too short!

Is there a trick to getting these on? Am I going to end-up with too much tension on the side with the new belt?

Thank you for any advice.

Don't know your mower but two thoughts; is that the only adjustment for your belt and are you sure you got the right belt? It happens. Your dealership should be able to tell you the proper length and if you can not measure it they should be able to. You will be very close by making the belt and using tape measurer. ....

Thanks, kthompson, I've come to the conclusion they sent the wrong part. This belt is not going to go on, I think it is 2 inches too short. ....
