I just my Hustler raptor SD w/130 hrs on it. My mower is constantly throwing the drive belt w/deck is engaged.
 
OEM Hustler Raptor SD Drive Belt 54" above is what you need.
 
Just so we are singing from the same song sheet
You are saying that the drive belt, the top one that connects to the hydros jumps off when you turn the belts on ?
 
Okay this particular Hustler setup can be cause by several problems. Loose transaxle mounting bolts (screws), Hydro fan blades that have drooped,hitting the drive belt. And single most troublesome part is the little 2 inch idler pulley bearings failing. Being only 2 inches it is operated at overspeed of the bearing rating. Also check the drive belt idler arm for wear.

Referencing Model 938381.
