+1. you should be able to measure the belt. Or take it to a regular hardware store (yes, where would you find one of those?). Most will have a belt measuring device. You only have to hold the ends together while measuring it.

Consider buying it from vbeltguys.com. Excellent service, super cheap.

Thanks for the quick reply!! The issue with measuring is, that my neighbor isn't quite sure if the belt I have is it's 100% length. My guess would be that it is. This was broken two years ago and she isn't sure if it had been snapped/cut in just the one place.

Thanks for the info. The belt I have from the tractor measures 86-1/2" which leads me to believe that the belt may have been in two pieces. From what I can only assume, based on what info I've seen, is that the actual belt length is 95-1/2".
Here are a few pics..hope this will give you more insight as to this tractors belt lenthg requirement. Thanks again, your help is very much appreciated.

That AYP belt runs $6.44 or $9.44 (kevlar) from vbeltguys.com. The second belt comes up as a 1/2" x 95" belt from Lawn Mower Parts Search but not on vbeltguys. I'd call vbguys an ask.

Yeah i wish we paid the same as u guys do ..Free trade kinda messed that up ...those belts my cost are about 20 to 30 ...over the counter they go 40 to 50 up
..Those 2 belts I listed are right from my parts supplier for this machine it depends on what style he has they made 2 different belts I work on craftsman more then anything elase ..if he measures the belt then he would know ..
