In any belt sander you clip the dustbag over the exhaust port and empty it when full. - Saves a lot of dust from flying around.
Depending how often and how long you use it, you would need a new belt about once a year.
The belt length for a Craftsman tractor LT 4000 42 is 96 inches by three-quarter inch. This is assuming the same 42 inch mower deck is still in use.

It's for taking off a lot of wood surface fast - for instance if a door rubs in one corner this is what to use.
To smoothen out the wood
You can use different grains of sandpaper, but the size of the paper itself must conform to the dimensions of your sander.
* use the sander in a dry environment. * If using outdoors, connect the sander to the power supply via a supply with earth leakage detection/residual current detection and cutoff. * Check the sander and all electrical cables and connections are in good condition. * wear eye protection * wear hearing protection * wear a dust mask. If sanding particularly hazardous materials such as lead paint, fibre cement etc., wear a ventilator rated for the hazard. * check that sandpaper/abrasive papers attached to the sander are in good condition and not torn * do not wear jewellery. * do not wear clothing with loose or trailing parts that could be caught in the sander * tie back long hair and tuck under a cap if the ponytail is long enough to reach past your ear. * keep fingers clear of the sanding surface. * for belt sanders be aware of the direction of the belt and the direction the sander will want to move. Keep fingers clear of theis direction. * Keep the work area free of items that may be caught in or flung about by the sander. * Clean up dust frequently. * Set up the work area to minimise other distractions and hazards.

Yes, you can. I've had experience using stripping solvent and then using a sander to take off the rest of the paint I could not remove. It is advisable to use a mask when you do this as the dust really flies! The size of the one you use would depend upon what you're sanding. I found a small palm sander for a small strip on the porch and then am going to rent an orbit sander for a larger area.
