Ayp lt 4218 c k gro riding mower. need to hook deck up. have parts no idea where they go or how.

Use a press, your local garage or engineering shop should help.

Quite possibly, the AYP factory was bought by Husqvarna, but they do produce machines under different names.
.

The deck belt is 144959 which is 1/2" X 95" and the drive belt is 140294 which 1/2' X 82", and can be found on amazon, here 1 2 95 Premium Belt Craftsman Poulan Ayp Husqvarna Replacement Belt 144959.... I hope this was helpful. cheers

I have never run into this problem. Craftsman riders are manufactured by American Yard Products (AYP) and are owned by Husqvarna Co. MTD is their own manufacturer. I would assume that if you want to hook this MTD blade to an AYP mower there would be some "back yard engineering" necessary. If there is an adapter available to hook it to your mower, either AYP or MTD should supply that adapter. Not much help for your problem, so I hope you get it figured out.

find someone selling a mower like it on eBay or craigslist, buy the whole mower and toss the tractor part. this will be cheaper than buying a new deck. and if you google around you will find lawn mower junkyards out there. contact one of those, they can hook you up. shipping will be high.

bear in mind your mower was really built by AYP, american yard products. find their website and email the tech support department and maybe they could give you a list of decks they made under other names which will fit your mower. my neighbor's sears was a clone of my husqvarna.

American Yard Products (AYP) is the manufacturer and the part number is: 142829 the part the part description shows sub= 145775.

go sears web site, typ in your model number it well give you attachment part number if there is on emade for your unit. not LT can take blower attachments. its more likly you have a polune or AYP unit

Look under the "running boards" Sears(AYP) sometimes put them under there. If not, go to www3.sears.com, type in your 917.xxxxxx model number and the pictures will show you an exploded view of the belt configurations

AYP/Poulan/Craftsman/Sears part number 144200

thats a ayp deck.
the 38 and the 42 take the same belt
