Hoping someone can help me. I've got a Cub Cadet series 2000 lawn tractor (I inherited it from an uncle). This mower has two belts. A drive belt and the PTO belt for just the blades--- they are completely separate. The PTO belt went bad after years of use. I looked at the manual and had conversation with Cub Cadet directly. The part identified for the PTO belt is for a 38" deck and is 59". However, this wayyyy to small. It wouldn't even get around the nearest pulley...let alone 4 of them. The belt I pulled off is 111 inches (I cut it and measure it's total length). How can it be that the manual and part identified for this tractor is completely wrong? More importantly, how do I get the right belt?
