Kubota T2290 Belt

[Buckeyeman]

Does anyone know if a aftermarket belt is available for the RCK48P-90T mower deck? Also is there a shop manual available for the T2290? I searched the internet, and the only belt I was able to find was the OEM belt. (K5186-36710)
Thanks

Try searching on Ebay using the OEM part number. I have found several that way for my Deere lawn tractor. They are usually mucho less $$s than the OEM.

Is there some reason you don’t want to buy a OEM Kubota belt ?
My experience buying aftermarket belts for my John Deere mower was yes they were less expensive but they never lasted as long as OEM John Deere belts even though they claimed they would last three times longer.
My Kubota ZD21 has 1500 hours on it and still has the original OEM belt.

The OEM belt is expensive, but this is a bad design on Kubota's part. Even the dealers say it was a bad design with the plastic pulleys going out and throwing belts. Mine has 200 hours (3 years old) on it, and will need to be replaced next year. My point is if these OEM belts don't last, than why pay the big bucks.

I looked on the internet, and I didn't see anyone with a aftermarket belt matching the OEM part number. It's looking like I will have to spend the $100 for the OEM one. One guy posted on Youtube that it is a 5 hour job to replace the belt.
