If you have the old belt, it should be able to wrap around all your pulleys and zip tie it. push in the clutch all the way and route the belt so is relatively loose in the pulleys so it can disengage. then bring it to tractor supply, measure it with the belt guide there and get the belt you need.

I take a bad belt put it around the pulleys and then cut it to the size i need then wire the 2 ends together then go to tractor supply and try and find one close. thats my redneck way of doing it isn't really the right way but it works.
