Default 127 New Mule Belt too short

My mule drive belt failed and I ordered the correct replacement IH 489397-R3. (77") This new belt is too short. I only winds around to the grease zerk in the center pulley. No way can I stretch it far enough to go around the pulley. Is there a longer belt. It the original deck 48" on a 127.
Appreciate any help here
Thanks

The belt is correct for the application. Is the adjusting bolt on the front of the mule drive all the to the end of the rod?

Default Mule Belt

I had the wrong belt. My deck is 42 not 48. That fixed it. The spring loaded front pully seems to be doing a lot of back and forth. Is that normal?
Thanks

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.
