How to measure belt for riding lawnmower

Understand your idea, however, after 35 years of repairing mowers, most manufacturers have designed drive sheave pulleys to certain specs, and generic fractional horsepower belts do NOT work. The material, cord design, and cross-section measurements are specific to that particualr application. Fractional horsepower belts are normally just rubber, and the heat created by driving a mower will melt the rubber quickly.
Go to the local Cub dealer and get the proper belt. It will save you tons of time and money. If you do not have a local dealer, cub has a website that would provide a dealer locator for your area.
