How to replace a belt on a murry lawn mower 38 inch cut

Replace the blade drive belt on a Victa VRX 14.5HP 38-inch cut lawn mower with the correct size. The old belt was 77 inches by 1/2 inches, but a larger new belt may not fit. Verify the size requirements with the manual or Victa customer support, or compare to the new belt purchased. If incorrect, return and purchase the right size.

Take a look at this tip I wrote on the no start issue.

Are you asking what size belt to use or are you asking what other size belt, like you want to use one a little smaller or a little larger? If that is the case, what difficulty are you having that you would need to do that? Did you put a Craftsman deck on a Poulan or something odd like that?

http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ type in model number of your mower ie 40560x50c All parts and diags ypu need ,Yours Henry

you have a bad blad saftey swich that all it is replace that and youll be good to go

make sure the pulleys are aligned and then check for burrs or sharp steel cuts on the pulleys as for the battery check for a short or bare wire.

Most mower decks have the diagram on them, if not go to MTD.com and put your model number to see the diagram.
