On a Arien's mower you will use 46 inch belt. This is an older type lawn mower.
i just looked at one yesterday...as my storage space for my new "used" lawn mower is limited it imperative that i measure the deck to make sure it would fit. my entrance is 42" and we measured the deck at its widest point and it is 40", so it will be a tight fit if i buy it
A reel mower doesn't use a deck per se. The term is usually used for the old sort of mower which is powered by human muscles. The cutting blades are inside an open cylinder. You actually see quite a few of them here in areas where people have tiny yards. Some reel mowers are powered however, but these aren't commonly used for lawns. Instead they are generally farm implements for cutting hay.
It depends on the Mower Deck you have. I have an LT166 with a Freedom 42" mulcher mower deck. To change the belt, I: 1) Lower the Mower Deck to the bottom position (on the lowest grass height) 2)Remove the front cotter pin and connector that locks the mower deck to the front of the tractor. The connector looks like a square loop with a tail. Slip the mower belt off the tractor (it should be loose and easy to do). 3)Remove the cotter pins that attach the lifter arms (on both sides) to the deck. 4)Remove the cotter pin that attach the blade brake to the tractor. Remove the blade brake shaft from the tractor (it should just slip off) 5) Raise the mower deck lever on the tractor -- the lifter arms should slide out from the mower deck. 6)Slide the mower deck out from under the tractor. 7) Remove the screws that hold the black plastic cover of the deck. 8) Find the spring tensioner on the side of the deck under the cover. Loosen the nut that keeps the spring tensioner tight, until the spring moves freely. 9) Loosen the nut on the FORWARD gear (the one the tensioner is connected to). That gear will then move so you can remove the belt. 10) Replace belt (Make sure the blades on the Freedom deck are aligned first!). Tighten spring tensioner. Tighten nut on forward belt gear. 11) Reverse steps 7,6,5,4,3,2,1

When I built my deck, I had a general idea of what I wanted to do, but it wasn't complete. I went to Lowes.com, used their free deck builder program, and was able to update my plans with cool new ideas.
The mower is used on the grass. A drill can be used to dig holes for bulbs. A sprayer is used to spray insecticide.
