I want to install a new motion drive belt on my Craftsman Model # 917.275684. (24hp, 42 cut) The belt part number is 140294. I removed the old belt by cutting it in two and now I can't get the new belt on. It looks like I have to STRETCH the new belt a couple of inches to get it over the electric clutch. Is that possible? I certainly cannot do it with my hands. Do I need a spectial tool? Is there something I can loosen to allow the belt to slip on? Thanks for your help! Robert Lanier

First thing is to check the new belt length against the old belt. Should be close, maybe old belt just a little longer. Then when you were trying to put the belt on did you set the brake like parking, that should take the tension off of it for you.

I hope this helps you out.

& read the numbers on it

You can stop by any small equipment shop & give
them the old belt or the make & model numbers & they

Model no. 917257660 need belt size for drive and deck
Hello,

The part number for the drive belt is: 140294 the size is Length: 82 1/4", Width: 1/2", Type: Covered

The part number for the mower deck is: 140067 the size is Length: 82 1/2", Width: 1/2", Type: Covered

They are very similar belts so don't get them mixed up the springs on the clutch pulleys may not be able to compensate for the slight difference.

Good luck, if you find this helpful please vote yes. Thank You!!
