Default 122 mower deck pto belt
I shredded my pto belt (from engine to deck) on my cc 122.
I've got a 48" deck.

using this chart http://home.comcast.net/~dos0711/CCBELTCHART.htm
I thought I needed IH-473462-R4-3/8 X 81"

Well the belt is too long. Any idea on how I can figure out what size belt I need? I tried a 76" belt and it is too short, so I know I need something in-between. No one around here has a 3/8" belt any where near this long, nor have I been able to find one online except from cubcadet which you have to pay a premium for.

Any help would be appreciated.

Just went through the same mess with mine.

I *believe* I have the 48 inch deck as well, and yes a Cub 122.

So. My local Tractor Supply Co. had a 1/2 by 81 inch belt. I bit the bullet and bought it, in part because it was less than HALF the price of ordering one somewhere, not to mention having to wait.

Well, it worked. I can only attest to one acre of mowing, but it worked. Others on here won't like it when you do it perhaps, but I say whatever works, works.

I tried a 1/2 by 81" belt from the car store, just to see if it would get me by. It was also too long. Should have realized then, that a 3/8 x 81 was also going to be too long, but thought lengths might be different depending on width?

Well, a wider belt would have to be longer to accomodate for length, just in principle...so, I'm not sure what to make of that.

Default Deck belt
My local Cub Cadet dealer recommended that I use a 1/2" diameter rope in place of the belt to gauge the length of the mower deck belt length. I did so and found out the length I needed. Worked for me.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
