New to the forum . . . .
So I bought a 18HP 42IN cut mower used from a friend of a friend. Long story short, I've had it for about a month and its been running for about a week as of now. (Changed oil and air filter, replaced plugs, sharpened blades, cleaned cylinder covers, replaced starter) Now, after mowing some of our property, I'm needing to replace the belt. *sigh* Unfortunately, all information from under the seat is gone. Needing some help to find the model and/or SN to get a replacement belt (unless a "standard" 42 inch belt will work).

Its an 18 HP BS motor, 42 Inch Troy Bilt 6 Spd (I believe).

Thanks in advance.

Are you needing drive belts or a deck blade belt?

Deck blade belt

Post the model type and code information from the engine. sometimes I can backtrack down to a few model numbers based on engine information.

Model: 42A707
Type: 2238 E1
Code: 0004055A

Family: YBSXS.7482VE 274567


It’s the 18hp opposed twin

LTX1842 possibly?

13AQ609G063, is the only model made for the 2000 model year that uses the opposed twin engine.

Thank you very much!! It’s a model 609 per further research. I was able to find the manual on sears website as well
