New owner of good old JD 214 had a question

[Wichita Sam]

Just picked up a JD 214 that was being used to mow a farmer's pasture. The mechanicals seem good. Strong Kohler engine. Trans and steering good. Pto functions. The deck was off and there is no belt from pto (electric) to the mower deck. I'm replacing the blades (chewed to heck) and welding up a crack in the deck (not major, but easier fix right now).

Question: Am I right that the belt I need to drive the mower deck is called a "PTO belt"? And, is it 84" long? I have a diagram, installation seems straight forward. I just don't want to order the wrong belt.

Ice and Snow tomorrow in SouthWest Missouri. Hope to have this 214 ready to go by mowing season....

Thanks for any help and advice....

Click on the link on the left that says "On line Parts" --- enter 214 in the search box --- look for your tractor parts manual in the list that comes up and then click on the right manual. Once your manual opens, click on the Alphabetical Index and then search B for Belts. You should find the correct part number.
