Mower Belts, Blades, Batteries and Tires

Belt width, length and the cross-reference number

Belts wear out regularly, and a wrong belt either will not fit or slips. Listings give width, such as 1/2 inch, overall length, such as 87-1/2 inch, and the make, model and deck size they fit, for example 48, 52 or 61 inch decks. Many also give the original part number they replace, so look up the number on your old belt or in the manual and match it. Belt type matters too: a hydro belt, a drive belt and a deck belt are not interchangeable even when similar in length.

Blades, batteries and tires by size and voltage

A mower blade is defined by its length, center hole and shape, and it must suit the deck, so measure the old blade end to end and check the hole and mounting pattern. Replacement battery packs are listed by voltage, such as 25.2 V, by capacity in mAh and by physical size, and the pack must fit the tool's slot and connector. A higher capacity at the same voltage mainly extends runtime. Tires carry their size on the sidewall, and an inner tube must match that size.

Questions about Mower Belts, Blades, Batteries and Tires

How do I find the right belt for my mower?

Find the make, model and deck size on the mower, and look for the original part number on the old belt or in the manual. Compare belt width and length with the listing, and check that it names your mower or the part number it replaces.

Does a higher mAh battery fit my tool and last longer?

It lasts longer only if voltage, pack size and connector match your tool. Capacity in mAh sets runtime, but a pack that is the wrong shape or voltage will not fit or may damage the tool. Check the listing's dimensions against the battery you are replacing.

How do I read a mower tire size?

The size is printed on the sidewall as three numbers, such as 16x6.50-8: overall diameter, tread width and rim diameter, all in inches. Match all three. The inner tube listing must name the same size, and the valve position should suit your wheel.
