Help finding the right replacement belt?
- Thread starter Hustler27
- Start date
1: Hustler belt part #
2: Stens belt part #
3: Rotary belt part #
4: Actual belt dimensions
If your new belt is not 140.77” long and 5/8” wide, it’s the wrong belt.
You should make sure that there is no belting material around the electric clutch brake (PTO).
Make sure that your PTO switch is in the off position before cranking. Some people will disconnect safety switches. I hope that you haven’t done that.

Are stens and rotary other parts or other brands or what? I purchased the hustler belt and am not having luck getting it working correctly.
Stens and Rotary are aftermarket parts dealers, manufacturers, distributors.
You need to confirm the dimensions of your new belt.
Also, give us the numbers off of the new belt. You could have the wrong belt.
If the belt is correct and you are still having problems, take it to your local Hustler or Big Dog dealer and have them figure it out.

OK
Your electric clutch is gone to heaven
Confirm by removing the belt and watch the deck drive pulley while some one else cranks the engine
If the pulley turns with the PTO turned off then either the switch-wiring is bad or the PTO clutch itself is bad
Unplug the clutch and repeat test
Pulley still spins = dead clutch
Pulley does not spin = wiring problem
Let us know what you find

This seems like a solid plan. I will do this asap.
Start of dumb questions...
- Is this a specific pulley that I need to look up to figure out or is this applicable to any on the mower deck (Or is this on the engine itself?)
- Will unplugging the clutch become obvious if I take off the plastic housing where the lever to engage the mower blades is mounted?

So now I am really confused
Unless the Raptors you get in the USA are different to the ones we get in OZ it should have an electric clutch on the PTO to power the blades
You keep mentioning a "lever" signifing a manual PTO engagement
This I have never seen except on old Dixons & current bottom end Husqvarnas & McCullochs
Feel like posting some model & serial numbers so we can make sure we are all singing from the same song sheet ?
