Belt length for woods L59 belly mower

[Kelly]

I have a 1971 international cub that has a woods L 59 belly mower and my belt came apart into pieces from being old while mowing...I need to find the belt length so I can order a new one...I'm a new cub owner and don't have many ideas of best places to get one so any help on this would be appreciated...thanx

Available ONLINE or an Industrial supply or good auto parts store, KEVLAR belts will last longer. Take a 1/2 diameter cord and run it around the sheaves and mark the length where the belt total length is then measure with a tape or rule. This should be close for the length. Belt width is B series which is 5/8 inches. If you have the mower ID info you can probably look it up in the manuals section at Quick links tab, top left corner if this page. Scroll down the dropdown list to the pdf manuals and click on the link. JMHO Stan

Measure per Stan's instructions.

Local auto parts store for the belt. Ask for the premium grade. Auto parts store is usually less expensive. If not in stock, available the next day with no shipping charge.

I show 2 different belts
Woods 59CL-4 3492, W172, B206
or 4152, W180, B-213
the B # is the best one to use, so measure your old one the length is 206 or 213

If it's mounted on a cub, I'm guessing it's a woods 59 and not a woods L59.

There's a second post on the LoBoy-154-185-184 forum by this person so a better answer could be provided if the tractor were known. JMHO Stan
