Which belt/ belts do I need?

[BlazNT]

Bent idler pulley brackets. And remember to take lots of pictures before and durring tear down. Especially where the springs connect. They are a huge pain to find where they go after the fact. I had a friend who could not remember how to get out of a paper bag to save his life. I had him paint each connection point for the springs. One color for each spring. Paint on the spring and connecting point. It worked very well for him. He forgot about the springs and when I showed up it was a lot easier to figure out the problem.

When you apply the parking brake the front belt goes a little loose but not much because these mowers have a N position on the axle gears so do not need to allow the belts to slip in order to stop the mower.
The front pulls against the back to change the speeds.
Check that the sliding sheeve on the common pulley can move up & down smoothly , if not the entire pulley will need replacing. ( not cheap )
Other than that as per the previous poster.
Pull it down Friday arvo so you can go to the parts store Saturday morning.
I can almost garantee t least one of the idler pulleys will be toast.
Look closely at the spring mounting points the springs cut them out so they oft need a quick blob of weld.

Thanks for all of the advice. I'm not sure when I'll get around to it but, I'll be sure to update here with what I do/find.
