Help finding the right replacement belt?

[Hustler27]

I have a hustler raptor, 52" deck. Made it part way through the lawn today and the deck belt exploded. I mean, I had to get a box cutter to get that thing off of the mower. I'm pretty sure it was at one time a single belt.

Can anyone help me with what belt I need to replace it with so I can order a new one asap?

And does anyone know of anything useful for how to weave it back in there around all of the pulleys the correct way when it arrives?

Thanks guys!

you will have to post your model number and serial number. Everything is model number based.

The fragments of your old belt may have a part number on it.

Download a copy of the Service Manual on your particular (specific) model of your Hustler mower and it should show you which belt is needed (part #) and how it is installed on the deck, etc.

PN 791988 for serial before 14030001.

Width: 5/8" Length: 140 3/4"

This should give the general idea of how belt pattern should look like after feeding around the pulleys.

Thanks! Does it matter much which brand to purchase? Looks like there are a bazillion belts in this model. Anyone happy with one or trust one?

Thanks guys!

If purchasing after market it needs to be covered and a Kevlar corded belt and meets the width and length specs above. Now I would avoid the Sunbelt (A&I) belts as they have been coming shorter than than spec'd size they are labelled being. This is why I quit buying them myself as I had to return nearly all of them for a 5/8 being two inches just don't work.

I buy buy belts off of E Bay. Lots of choices and great prices. Free shipping on belts and other parts. Be sure to look at sellers with a lot of items sold and that they have a user rating of 95% satisfaction or better. I prefer 99%
