    No.

    The Gates belt number can be found int his document. http://www.royalsupply.com/downloads/GatesLG-Guide.pdf

    The generic part number can be found by looking up the belt spec on the Gates Website. Just print out a copy when you go get a belt. The smart ones can make a generic part number out of the spec.

    I guess they are not smart because they gave us the wrong belt. I tried to find the length of the belt at the website you said to go to, and I found nothing on the length . Do you by chance know where I could find that info

    If you have a single belt this is the part # 954-0485
    If you wait until tomorrow I'll be going by my shop and I can look in the cross over book and give you the size.

    If you go to the .pdf I referenced, and search for the model #, there are 4 possible belts. Type 25 in the page # at the bottom of the page. It spans two columns. Two belts at the bottom left and two on the top right.

    What Gates p/n do you come up with?

    According to the book,
    For a 42" deck with a manual pto
    the belt is 954-0485 its 5/8 " x 97".

    That's not EXACTLY what I get with your info (manual PTO). I get a Gates 6575BR with your info, 21/32 with an inside length of 97.15"

    It doesn't seem to cross to a standard belt number.

    Usually you can go to a NAPA auto store with the Gates # and come back with the right belt.

    This came out of the MTD book that's who makes this mower ,
    But either one would work,because this has a spring loaded idler on it.21 /32 will not go as far into the pulley so it's a hair longer
