    Also you measure the outside of the belt,away from the "V" side of the belt,to get the diameter of the belt. Also measure the flat side of the belt from side to side to get the width of the belt. You will need the measurements to get the correct belt size. Most,businesses,will do this for you,just take in the old belt.Sincerely,Brad Locke

Craftsman riding mower LT3000 blades won't engage/turn

Well, we wouldn't want to lose your little girl, but goats can be very lovable.

The problem could be it just needs lubricating. I'd first spray WD-40 on every part of that mecanism which moves, top to bottom, even inside the button on top and underneath the deck.

If that doesn't work, get back to me, please.
