An update
After waiting weeks for a 2 day "in stock" order from MOWTOWNUSA I finally got everything in (or so I thought)
Got the deck all washed up and installed a new belt and idler spring new blades (btw if you ever have a spindle stuck on a spline you can make a field expedient spindle puller by using the old blade) and some bolts that were missing lubed everything as best as I could and its spinning awesome now
Went to change the drive belts
I don't know what kinda.....engineer designed the belt system but wow
I found out that
A I don't own snap ring pliers
B.my Montgomery Ward to mtd parts listings that I have been looking up maaaay not be 100% correct
The rear belt that I ordered was about 2" to long luckily the old belt had the proper mtd part number embossed onto it
Since I have the snap ring pliers on order (thanks Amazon credit!) I'm going to have to cut off the foward belt(remembering to take pictures this time) to see if that one was also wrong

But if the dealer gets the wrong belts, it is our fault. MTD has several of those wrong part listings. The best is when the number listed is for an obsolete part, for a mower that is currently under warranty.
