Today i went looking for the belt and blades for this mower. Boy, was it a long search. Went to harbor freight and the part guy has been suspended so no much help there. I do not hoave the original belt so I had to use a rope to get an idea. It is around 68 to 70 inches long. The guy at NT looked but was no able to find anything. He could not tell me when will they have a part guy again. No luck with the blades again, they are about 18 inches.
Went to lowes. They at least have all of their belts and blades in the floor so I spend some time trying to match a belt to my rope. After a few close calls I had ran all of their belts and no help. The blades were not find again.
Stopped at autozone and they found me a couple. I settle for the smallest one and move one of the pulleys to a different hole. But in my opinion, the belt is not loose enough for when you "disconnect" the deck pulleys from the motor pulley and when I use the level to activate the spring that put preassure it dont look like it does enough. I guess for now all I can do is put the blades and see.
The deck can also be raised and lowered to changed the level of the cut. But by looking at it it gives me the impression the belt is in such an angle it will come off...
If anyone has this mower I will appreciate it much if you can share where you buy parts for it, specially the belt and blades I did not ask for the blades. I might also try napa if any of the autozone belts dont work.
I still have to go to TSC to check both. ACE says they dont work the belts for it but i did not ask for the blades.
