      PLEASE ask your vendor WHERE I can purchase these belts in my zip code of 17751.

      And EDUCATE me as I am not aware that belts came in anything but full inches in length - so where do I find something that is 34.5" and 37.75"-------ALSO" where can I find something that is .59" in width?????

       

      Thanks

        It is probably best to obtain these thru your local Husqvarna dealer or https://www.jackssmallengines.com/

        As for belts in different non even inch sizes there is very large number of these for specific applications. MTD products is one the worst for odd ball belt sizes. They are a real pain to get an aftermarket to work right as vendors try to sub non-speced belts.

        As for the .59 width it is basically an 11/16 wide belt. A 5/8 is too narrow and a 3/4 is too wide. Some aftermarket vendors will try subbing a slightly shorter 5/8 belt but since they are narrower they will lower in the pulleys and can bottom out in the v groove and slip.

        Not only the belt wide can be odd at times there is also various belt heights and attack (bevel) angles. All of which makes difficult to use anything OEM spec belts.

        On top that my Sunbelt Outdoor dealer has been having a terrible this year with belts being different than indicated specs on the packaging. I just has order 3 belts from an alternate vendor because the 1/2 x 103.25 belts were only 101.75, Worked fine when the deck in the middle position but so too tight when the deck was fully retracted and disengaged, smoking the belt.It just like someone is using a tape measure with the end broken off.

        I personally have lost confidence in the Sunbelt vendor that I have use for 8 yrs because of this year's problems.

      I am STILL waiting on an ANSWER from your vendor on WHERE I can purchase these in my zip code of 17751.  And EDUCATE me as well.  I am not aware that belts came in anything but FULL inches in length - so WHERE do I find 34.5" and 37.75"---------ALSO where can I find something that is .59" in width, as you have indicated in YOUR answer?

        The parts I gave are Husqvarna part numbers.
