So, I went to my manual, looked up the proper part number, referenced that, and that returned the part number for an 84" belt. I ordered an 84" belt, but I can see no way that it will fit, much less fit over the back pulley edge.
I have dropped the tensioner, and I see the engine has some forward adjustment, but that doesnt look like enough to me for an 84" belt.

Looks to me more like it needs an 86-87" belt.

The manual I have says SN 6057252 or higher on the front cover.

The engine to deck belt part # should be 2006B81 = 84"

I recently changed the deck belt, the long belt, and changed the blades, and I had zero issues with that.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks

Did you order DC belt or an aftermarket? If aftermarket check its actual length as I had a terrible time the last few years with aftermarkets being shorter then spec'd.
