G'day All,
Got onto the MTD website the other day. I now have an Owner's / Operator's manual for the beast. (Free download) The owner's manual has a parts list with MTD part numbers, which I feel may be a little more helpful than the Victa numbers. I'll let you know after I've tried to buy some of the bits I need.
On the MTD website (and another one I looked at somewhere) they specifically said not to buy belts based on the size given, but only to use the manufacturer's belt. To a certain degree this makes sense, as the belts under a mower get much more of a hiding than some other applications I can think of. Nevertheless, if one buys a quality belt, say a Dayco or a Gates, which they recommend for the job, will they last as long? I have not had a lot of experience with ride on mowers, so would appreciate some advice from any of you folk that may have.
Cheers
Maurie
