Thanks guys, both very helpful posts. I will check around and see what other prices are at a few places.

 

Hey Ryan me again, I did some checking The best price on the belt is on Ebay, the seller even happens to be someone I buy form all the time. item # is 300429884540. Part # is 111178, it's a Stens belt 140 1/2" long double V and 1/2" wide. the Price is 45.95 free shipping.Just thought I'd pass this along to you. Good luck!

 

Your model number needs to be written with a dash to find info 05-37SC01
Your deck's serial number is the 12815.
9024 is the Julian build date - 24th day of 1989 - Tuesday January 24th, 1989

I think there are over 600 service bulletins posted in about 5 different series. They are all in there aphabetically with the WH and T separating Wheel Horse and Toro depending who generated the bulletin. Then the years they cover and next the number they used for the bulletin. There are many more not posted but they are for Toro designed product.

You should be able to paint the top side of the belt or the bottom to make it easier to follow.

Nice Tractor Ryan!

 

See if this works.

 

I couldn't find anything on those sites, lots of info on them and it was kinda overwhelming. I think i looked pretty good though.

this is what I found on the deck.

 

Thanks again, I'll look on those sites and let you know how it works out.

 

Thanks Garry! Do you have the bullitan or know were I can find one, about the belt inhalation?

There are a few service bulletins posted here with the manuals somewhere. Might check those first to see if it is there but don't know that the file will be named the same.

The 2-blade decks are 37" side discharge. Easy to ID because the left spindle is farther ahead than the right. There are 4 different models
05-37SC01 uses all V-pulleys including the idlers with a 6-sided belt 1986-1990.

There is a product service bulletin showing how this 6-sided belt must be installed. Very important.

That's the reason I don't have a belt now! Its very long and its gotta be over 100, or very close to it. I need one before spring though, with this one I have to stop a bunch for the blades to catch up. I will look at the deck for model numbers tomorrow, hopefully somebody will come along who knows what I need.

 

Sorry, That's a new one on me LOL. I have probably 5 mower decks lying around for the "C" and the 300/400 series tractors and they're ALL 3 blade, 42" side discharge units. I'll bet that wont be a cheap belt though! It's got to be very long! I did some more digging and I just can't seem to find the info for you. A model number off of the deck might help though.

 

I know they offered a deck with two blades and one with three blades, mine has two so I assume its a 36 inch cut. I am 110% sure it only has one belt. I remember because the last time I had the deck off I had a hard time figuring out how it snaked through all the pullies. Its also a double v belt, I know that much.

 

Are you sure? I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that mine has a double stacked pulley on the center blade. The belt from the engine drives the top pulley in the stack, which is connected to the one below it, and a separate belt drives the other blades. Mine also has 3 blades. What size deck is it, 36" or 42"?

 

The deck only has one belt. It goes from the engine to the deck and drives both of the blades.

 

There should be a model number tag on the mower deck. You'll need that to find the right belt. Or do you mean the drive belt that goes from the engine to the deck? Either way, I'll have to leave it up to someone else as I do not have a manual for your model.

 

What's rust reformer? What does it do exactly? Also, I need a deck belt for this thing pretty bad, the one that's on it now is almost a perfect circle. Does anybody know what size belt I need? It could also use a brake adjustment, but that's easy and should only take a couple minutes.

 

Nice tractor, Ryan. Shoot those rusty spots with some Rustoleum Rust Reformer. It'll at least slow that down till you can take care of them.

 

That's in very respectable condition Ryan! The footboards are a common place for rust to form. Yours is in better shape than mine by quite a stretch.

 

here are those pics, its in pretty good condition, its pretty solid and has no major rust other then some surface rust on the foot boards.

When I went to take the pics I made a discovery, the lights work! I have never used it for anything other then mowing so I have never had a reason to try them... lol

 

Thanks! I will get pics tomorrow, after I got home today I immediately went outside and was in the woods until dark. I tried to take pics but it just didn't work out with no light.

 

That makes it a 1989. How 'bout some pics?

 

The number under the seat I found is 2112k806 41044

 

I have a 312-8 myself. Mine's a 1986 with the K series Kohler on it. Very capable machine!

 

Having a Magnum in it will put it in the range of 1987 through 1997.
