Mower makers do not make belts... They use standard or spec belts...
You likely have a classical V belt 'A' or 'B' size... as to the length, do as LandN & noma suggested... place a rope around all the included pulleys, pull it taunt and measure it... ANY Industrial supply or Bearing supplier in your area will be able to give you the exact belt you need...
You can also go online ... places like: ... V-Belts; Metric V-Belts, Power Transmission Belts;Synchronous Belts;Timing Belts;Industrial V-Belts;Low Cost;Discount Prices
They will have your belt for around $5.... Do a little measuring and you will find how easy it is to find a correct belt size...:smile:KennyV

5 bucks! My belts run between 16 and 47, depending on the application.

I could be wrong but to me it looks a lot like the older Sears Craftsman lawn tractors, just because of the way the front end is styled. Sears was based in Chicago for a LONG time, perhaps still is. Dynamark, Chicago, Illinois...hmmmm

Tractor Supply Company stores sell a huge assortment of V-belts in all sizes. But $5 gets you a really tiny one...

They do carry a few belts...
But for a really huge supply, check your industrial suppliers... or on line at places like: V-Belts; Metric V-Belts, Power Transmission Belts;Synchronous Belts;Timing Belts;Industrial V-Belts;Low Cost;Discount Prices
$5 will get a good size belt, $14.03 will get a 12 foot long B series belt that I Run a flail mower on mt IH tractor...

BUT you do have to know how belts are measured.. you can order Very Good belts at reasonable prices... :smile:KennyV

Ok, so i wasnt sure where to post this. Sorry, im new to this. Im looking into buying a rider, but i have no clue about this brand. The brand is Dynastar. I cant find anything about it anywhere. I heard it may be a shoot off brand of a bigger brand like mtd or something, but i cant find any info on it. Any help would be great. It needs some repairs but is really cheap so i wanted to know what would be best to do. I attached a picture. Sorry i didnt get one when i went to look at it. But will post some new ones tomorrow if the question hasnt already been answered.

whats the update on the mower....thats one of the coolest looking ever!

It looks somewhat like an older murray.
None the less, if you can't find info about it, DON'T GET IT. When you need parts, they will be harderr, if not impossible, to find, and you will have a useless piece of junk on your hands that you can't fix. :mur:
