1440 PTO and Belt

[dgallagher]

I am still working on the electric clutch on a 1440. I found a used clutch that works great, but it has a 4 1/2" pulley instead of the 6" on the old one. So the belt doesn't fit. Does anyone know the correct belt or how I can find one. Many thanks.

How about taking a piece of rope or extension cord and wrapping it around where the belt goes and see how long it needs to be for your application?

The correct belt is the one you have. With a 4.5" pulley, your mower blades are going to spin 25% slower, and won't cut as well. Can you put the 6" pulley on the new PTO? If not, I'd keep looking for the right PTO.
