On a 1998 Ranch King Pro, the deck belt tensioner is typically located on the underside of the mower deck, near the drive belt routing. It is generally a spring-loaded pulley that helps maintain tension on the mower deck belt to ensure proper operation. To access it, you may need to raise the mower deck or tilt the mower on its side for better visibility. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific details and diagrams.
The deck belt size for a 42-inch Ranch King mower typically measures around 1/2 inch in width and 95 to 97 inches in length, but it's essential to check the specific model for exact specifications.

Ranch King is a brand name of the manufacturer MTD. Product manuals with part blow-up diagrams are available from MTD's web site, http://www.mtdproducts.com/ Models are identified from the model number printed on a label under the mower seat. Parts can be ordered directly from MTD or other distributors on the web. It is my experience that original brand name MTD belts work best. The 22HP, 46" mower deck Ranch King Pro has 3 belts: The drive belt which runs from the engine pulley back to the hydro drive unit to provide over-the-ground propulsion is part #754-0349. A mower has either an electric PTO or a manual PTO, not both. The electric PTO belt the provides power to the blade deck (runs around the electric clutch on the engine shaft (activated by electric switch, not the mechanical hand lever that engages the mower deck) is p/n 754-0476 for the 46" deck. The manual PTO belt the provides power to the blade deck (runs off the pulley on the engine shaft (activated the mechanical hand lever to the left of the steering wheel that engages the mower deck) is p/n 754-0228 for the 46" deck. The deck belt that goes around the 3 blade spindle assemblies on the mower deck, to drive the grass cutting blades is p/n 754-0349 In my experience, the PTO belt lasts about half a season, the other belts break about every other season when mowing 4 acres weekly.
The drive belt for a 48" Power King Economy mower is 3/8" x 88" in a Gates Green Belt or equivalent high strength belt.
