what is belt 754-3029 for?

[rickpaulos]

I own a Cub Cadet 1320 hydro with a 38" deck. The deck belt failed today and I"m looking thru the belts I have on hand and am wondering what 754-3029 is for. (someone hand marked 954-3029 on the package)

From my notes (right or wrong):
954-3036 is for the deck (36"?)
754-3037 is for the hydro drive (unk"?)
954-3038 is for the PTO (38"?)

cubcadet dot com is super slow to look up my own model.
Looking up part numbers doesn't offer much description either.

754-3029 or 954-3029 just says 1/2" spindle belt with no length specified.

Can anyone offer insight as to the prefix number change? is 754 the same as 954?

thanks,

I can't find what the belt fits, but the 754 means the belt is sold loose, the 954 means it is sold with a belt sleeve.

Cub cadet deck drive belt

Okay but not for my particular model. Humm, been around so long I forgot how or why I got it. It's not even close to what my Cub Cadet takes. Well the fun continues. I could not find a deck belt so I ordered 2 via ebay tonight. Then when I went back in the garage I found a full set. Back up and running.

I did find the deck brake pad is worn slightly, just enough so the brake pad material doesn't stop the blades but the brake arm was hitting the spindle and was cutting a grove! Well I used my angle grinder to trim back the brake arm where it was hitting the spindle so now the brake pad properly stops the blade. Just need to fine tune the adjustment a tad. One thing I've learned is the front deck adjustment affects the deck brake adjustment and the pto belt tension. While I had the deck off, I found one of the front deck adjustment screw nuts was missing. Fell off somewhere some time in the yard.
I replaced the deck brake arm a few years ago and it was replace under recall when I first got the mower. It is a bit finicky.
