My dad had me look at his B with the woods mower on it. At the back of the tractor the PTO pulley and the mower idler pulley are not in line. It doesn't look like any brackets are bent or damaged and the brackets that bolt to bottom of tractor don't have any side to side adjustment. Is the pulley on the PTO shaft adjustable from side to side? Thanks!!!
 
Thats the way they are and have been like that for 50yrs or so. I have had a B with Woodsmower since 64 still uses the same mount but i have replaced the deck.
 
Yes you need a B-225 at any belt place. After the new one is on let it run for a time then retighten keepinf the two idlers lind up with the mowers middle spindle
 
i have a b with the same mower. i have better luck with the belts from woods. i got a couple from motion industries (old berry bearing) and they lasted only a season. i have been running the woods belts on my cub and b for quite a few years and they are still going. just my experience, your mileage may vary.
 
I am always amazed at how well those belts hold up considering the contortions they go through. I have a Woods L503 on my Farmall A and on one side of the drive pulley the belt twists 180 degrees in about 18
inches before it hits the idler to turn it ahead to the mower pulley. Plus it bends forward and backward as it goes through all the pulleys. Mine lasts for years and mow a reasonable amount with it.
 
I would agree with the thought that the Woods brand belts last longer than one "that fits". In my experience its a factor of 3x or more. Even the "kevlar belt" you can get is not as good as the Woods OEM part.
 
I have a L59 on a Super A and only use Woods belts on it. They last pretty long. The biggest problem I find is people don't keep the belts tight enough. When they stretch you need to retighten. Good Luck.
