To find the right belt size for a Craftsman riding mower, first consult the owner's manual, which typically includes the correct part number and specifications for the belt. If the manual is unavailable, measure the old belt's length and width or check the mower's model number online for compatible belt sizes. Additionally, you can visit a local hardware store or parts supplier with the model number for assistance in selecting the right replacement belt.

To adjust the belt tension on a 42-inch Craftsman riding mower, first, ensure the mower is turned off and the key is removed. Locate the belt tensioner, which is typically near the engine or the pulley system. Use a wrench to loosen the tensioner bolt, adjust the tension by moving the arm, then re-tighten the bolt to secure the new tension. Finally, check the belt for proper alignment and tension before starting the mower.
There should be a belt diagram on the underside of the left foot rest.
You may have installed the wrong size belt? One of your spindles may be bent. Double check to see that your spindles are not bent and that you have purchased the correct belt for your mower.
You probably blew a belt.
Usually there is a problem with the belts that drive the blades, after you stop the mower. Take a close look at the belts and assure that the belt is tracking and the pulleys are aligned. If you are unsure of the belt routing recheck the manual.
You have probably broken the drive belt. With the mower turned off, lie on the ground and look underneath the mower. There is a deck belt and a drive belt. The drive belt is the upper belt. Grab the upper belt and see if it is broken.
