How do I know what size belt my mower needs?
The first step is to check your owner’s manual for your specific make and model. The manual will usually list the size of the belt that is compatible with your mower. Additionally, many manufacturers now offer online resources where you can look up the exact parts for your mower.
Once you know the belt size, you can measure the old belt you are replacing to make sure it is the correct size. To do this, you will need to measure the circumference of the existing belt. You will need a flexible measuring device, such as a tape measure or cloth measuring tape.
After measuring the old belt, make sure the new belt is the same size or slightly larger. If the new belt is too small, it will not be able to provide the necessary power to the mower blade and it could cause damage to the motor.
If the new belt is too large, it will not transfer the power efficiently and it could be too loose and slip off. You should also check to make sure the belt you purchase is compatible with the type of motor your mower has.
Lastly, you should inspect the belt to make sure it is properly made and has not been subject to abnormal wear and tear.
What size belt do I need?
Finding the right size belt for you can depend on a few things, such as your waist size and the belt size measurement you prefer. To measure your waist size, use a soft tape measure and wrap it around your waist, keeping it parallel to the ground.
Make sure to measure at the spot you would wear your belt, usually where your hip bones rest. This measurement is your waist size and you can use it to determine your belt size.
When buying a belt, you need to know your waist size as well as the specific belt size you require. Most belt size measurements use inches or centimeters with “Size 0” being the smallest and bigger sizes increasing proportionally.
To make sure you get the right size, you should take your waist size and add two to three inches to it. For example, if your waist size is 32”, your belt size would likely be 34 or 35. Keep in mind that belts come in different lengths and most leather belts will stretch over time so you should select a slightly tighter fit if you’re unsure.
Before you purchase a belt, be sure to check the size guide for specific measurements. This is the only way to guarantee a perfect fit. Also, if you’re looking for a new belt and you don’t have a tape measure, you can always measure your old belt from your old belt from end to end and use that number as a reference for your new belt size.
Should you size up or down in belts?
When selecting a belt size, it is important to choose the one that fits your waistline measurements best. Belts should generally be worn on the middle hole or one closer to the last hole. If the belt buckles on the first or second hole, it is likely too large; if it only fits on the last (tightest) hole, it is likely too small.
Using a measuring tape, measure around your waist (or hips) at the area where the belt will be worn. This measurement is the one that should be used to determine your belt size. Match this waist size with the belt sizes recommended by the manufacturer.
If you’re between sizes, it’s generally recommended to size up to ensure you have the correct fit.
It may be helpful to visit a specialty store and try on a few belts to determine the best fit for you. Ultimately, the belt size that is most comfortable and fits correctly is the one you should choose.

It is best to measure yourself to get an accurate size. To measure your belt size, you should use a flexible measuring tape and measure the distance between the furthest belt holes of an existing belt.
For example, if the measurement is 38 inches, you will need a 38 belt size. It is also important to note that some belts are only sold in even sizes, such as 32, 34 and 36. In this case, you will need to round up your size to the next even number, which would be a 36 belt size for a 34 waist size.
