Hi,
I am getting my Ferris is5000z ready for the new season and have an issue with replacing the mower deck drive belt.
I have bought the belt, 5023123, and tried to fit it to the deck, but it’s about 10” too long......
I have measured the outside length of the belt and it’s about 200”.
The deck is 61” wide, rear discharge and mower is C31D model.
I have used all adjustments I can, like extending the push bars and moving the mower tension pulley to the maximum setting, but to no avail.
Does anyone know what length the belt should be?
I know the belt for the 72” deck is 211” long and based on different pulleys and blade spacing should make the belt for the 61” deck about 20” shorter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
