I came across a used yard machines 20hp LT with 46" 3 blade deck, that needs a PTO belt. Unfortunately, the model number has fallen off of the seat. Can anyone assist?
Thanks in advance.

Do you know what year the tractor is? I found this number for a yard machine 3 blade 46", 2007, MTD 954-034
Sometimes MTD will also put a tag under the hood with part numbers.
No clue. There is nothing under the hood, either. The tractor looks very similar to MTD 13AQ609G022, but I'm not sure. I'm going to take the belt to a local lawn mower shop and hope they can match it, but I will eventually need a model number when the next item breaks.
13AI674H352 13AI395H372 13AI699H062 13AI699H088 13AI69AH118 all used your engine on the 99 model year. the main difference between most of those numbers is the paint codes and the hood style depending which store they were made for.
Thanks, but my model doesn't have that big stick on the right side of the tractor. I think it's an 00 model. I entered the model of my old MTD 13AQ609G022 - which the website says is an 00 model. My model is laid out the same - in terms of the location of the brake, throttle and choke.
13AI607Hxxx 13AI608Hxxx 13AI673H352 13AI675H062 13AI699H088 13AI69AH118 are the 2000 models that used your engine. the xxx is basically same model under several different sales codes.
The mowers are all built on a common chassis .
Your deck should be the H deck which is why Ilengine only listed H models .
After that it is electric or manual ( big lever one the side ) PTO
And what ever tranny you have
Have a look on the tranny for a sticker with a number
Pop the model number into Jacks Small Engines then pick the tranny and hit the more info button
That brings up a new window which will also list all of the models that tranny was fitted to
Some times you can do the same with the engine
Then the pto clutch
Any listed model that is in all 3 lists will have the same parts as your mower apart from body pannels paint colours & decals.
The chassis of the mower pictured on the manual looks the same, but the hood and light looks different - but they all reference the same part # for the belt. So I'm well on my way.
The name on the side of the mower means little now days as there are really only 2 factories that make 80% of the brands.
JD make their own + at least one other brand ( used to make Honda as well )
Toro make their own , don't know if the make for any one else .
Everything else comes out of MTD or AYP ( Husqvarna)
Thus everything else is just a slight variation of either the basic MTD or AYP design .
For current MTD Products model numbers they code out as below
Everything with the same characters from M to F below are identical apart from the shape of the hood & the colour , which is the 0 in this example.
For running parts you can mostly ignore the engine code ( M ) as well
Bert the last track I had the Toro and Ariens consumer products were being made by MTD, Which accounts for the Chinese engines on the Toro mowers, they are the MTD Powermore engines, aka Loncin.
Thanks Ilengine,
Hard to keep up
Even harder as down here models are generally a season or two behind up there, unless the model was a disaster in which case they dump them all down here at big discounts .
Briggs did themselves a bid disservice by closing down the Murray factories and forcing a duopoly onto the smaller brands .
