What happens here
With the flail mower's drive belt snapped, the team attempts a field repair. They try to use a spare belt from another Ventrac attachment, an aerator. However, upon inspection, they discover the aerator belt is a different size and not compatible with the flail mower. This necessitates a trip to NAPA Auto Parts. At NAPA, they use a belt tension gauge to identify the correct belt size (4L460) based on tension and deflection, ensuring they purchase the right replacement part.
Goal: Replace the snapped flail mower drive belt.
