deck belts

[uk gardening]

Has anyone had bother with zero turn deck belts ?
My genuine belt snapped today and had to replace it today. Took the new aftermarket ryan deck belt out of packet and put it around pulleys etc and it wont fit. Seems to short by a little bit. I made sure I gave them all model numbers. I would never get tension spring to stretch that far. Anyone else had same bother, or have they supplied wrong one. Maybe I should have got an original belt.

Even if it had fit, I recommend oem belts, big difference in quality when it comes to belts I have learned over the years.

I would concur that for a ZTR as nice as that Bobcat, I wouldn't try to save a buck on belts and would stick with the Bobcat dealer's OEM belts.
