Husqvarna RZ3016 Zero-turn Unavailable Belt

[TobyU]

Bought this mower 2016 and am looking for OEM belt 575 852401 that drives the wheels. Unfortunately, Husqvarna has discontinued this part. After ordering an OEM from four companies' web sites, I received a "discontinued" e-mail on all.

I've had aggravating luck with non-OEM belts advertised as "fits" or "for" or "replacement for" when they don't fit, don't work at all, don't work as well, fly off, fail early, etc. My original belt is still working fine but I want a spare.

If anyone could help me find an OEM, I would be elated but that appears impossible so I am asking advice on how/where to get a non-OEM belt that will really work reliably.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Where are you being this number. My first search from your model number the 966xxxxxxx one shows a
539120806 for hydro belt
that is readily available.

If you have the specs, an old fashion electric repair/supply shop maybe able to help you, If you can’t an OEM.

V-belt manufacturers have generic info on their websites, cross-section, length, etc. Bearings and drives distributors are also a good source for v-belts, and their websites usually have sizing methods too.

It's the 666 in the product number.

Coming back to let everyone know how this problem came out.

First off, I originally had the wrong parts manual for my mower. My mower's number was 966612301 04. I had the parts manual for 966612301 (sans 04). After getting the correct parts manual, the parts manual for the 04 iteration, I was then able to look up and order the correct part.

Problem solved and thanks to everyone for their help.
