I recently bought a Honda H3001 riding mower, it was sold for parts. I have tried to fix everything, but the most challenges for me is the deck belt. I bought 2 deck belt and i could not install it in the first place because none of them fit perfectly. They are all 5/8in x 72, after many tries, days, this is what i figured out.

• The correct part # is 76181-763-A02 or any equivalent 5/8in x 72 in deck
• If your belt is too tight or too loose, adjust the tension belt.
• When you install the deck, install the belt first, connect the belt to the engine pulley. If you don’t do this, you might not have not space to put the belt on the pulley.
• After instaling the belt to the engine, hook the 2 front bar from the deck to the engine using the 2 front bars.
• Hook up 2 side bar later.
• When hooking these bars, you might have some challenge because it too short, use a wood to level up the bar.
