Question
Model # for craftman GT5000 with a Kohler engine 25hp 5 years old 54 in. deck. Belt broke cant get proper belt without model # any suggestions on obtaining that?

Answer
Hello Margaret:

Use a Piece of Twine and Following the Belt Routing; Lace the Twine Around the Pulleys. Mark the Twine and Usually your Local Automotive Parts Retailer can Select the Proper Industrial Belt to Replace the Old Belt. Sometimes if you Add a 1/2in or 1in (it been a long time since I have had to Figure a Belt Size) to the Length of the Twine; the Belt Should be The Proper Length. If you Send me the Measurement, I can Get you the Proper Belt Number Also. Hope this Helps. I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Thanks.

Good Luck
