Hello. What size deck belt does a 42 inch craftsman? riding mower use? Mower is very old. It was made on 4/23/2001. Model #RZ125H42B and serial #
072401D001075. Any links to the belt would be greatly appreciated! Aso, I am not 100% sure this is a craftsman riding mower.

According to the serial it was made on July 24, 2001. It should be labelled as a Rally mower but yes it is AYP/Husqvarna/Craftsman mower. The deck belt is a 1/2 x 95-1/2 inch V-belt. PN 532144959. The drive belt is a 1/2 x 82-1/4 inch belt PN 532140294.

This is good info and it's very much appreciated. So, the belts I had in mind weren't the correct belts for this mower. I'm glad I asked.

Ordered the deck belt and put it on today. Good stuff and great info.

I have a question about the jack points for this mower. I need to take the front tires off and take them to Walker's Tire and let them take the tires off the rims. I've already bought new tires for the rims. I've had them for a few months now. They only charge $10.00 per tire. I want to jack up the front and place a jack stand in the center if possible because I want to take my car jack with me.

Two jack stands under front chassis.

I got it on one jack stand just under the frame. No worries as the frame is holding it up. There's not enough room for two jack stands. I thought about putting a stand next to each tire but got scared because I might end up damaging the arms/axles that go to the wheel. Everything looks good and there's no pressure on the more sensitive parts.
