The belt that drives the transmission broke well shredded. My questions are.
1. What is the best way to take off the remanence of the belt? the tractor is really heavy.
2. What size belt or belt number should I get to replace it? where to order it from online.
Thank you

remove mower deck, take pictures if you wish to facilitate reinstallation, check idler pulleys for bearing wear & some have grease fittings, take your time & clean, inspect, & grease deck spindles before re-installing, check blades after cleaning them to see if they need to be replaced or dressed up with a file & properly balanced before re-installing them.

If it is the drive belt the only way to diagnose the cause is to remove the deck and then crawl under and look for bad tensioner arm, bad pulleys and worn guides. Deck will need to be pulled to replace the belt anyway. If you post the model and serial numbers, under the seat, we will be able to tell you the belt part number and maybe even a procedure for replacing the belt. While the deck is off it would not be a bad idea to do all the checks which mechanic mark listed.

I use a yard crane which makes things really easy rather than crawling underneath perpetually eating grass & trying to keep crud out of my eyes.
If you put some cling film on the fuel tank filler then screw down the cap, most mowers with a sealed battery can be stood vertical on their back wheels and an amazingly large number will actually sit there quite happily.
Now you can see exactly clearly what is going on, you can get to everything easily and crud is not falling into your face.

We replace deck belts daily. We have never taken a deck off yet.
Raise the nose and drop the front hanger off, support the front of the deck with a jack stand. You now have full access to the deck.

A shredded belt tends to be cut by a bent belt guide. Pullies being stuck will snap a belt clean, just like stopping them blade when mowing.
