This deck belt got pinched below one of the pulleys so the deck needs to get removed to make it a little easier. Most the time just a bunch of pins holding the deck in place. Remove all the pins and the deck should slide out the side.

Mongo Find a new belt at Ace hardware. They proud of this belt (on the expensive side) it made in USA by Rotary. PN - 12-10232, replaces PN - 174883.

While the deck out Mongo going to clean it.
Couple notes about decks
1. Each spindle has 2 bearings (top and bottom) make sure there is not grass, leaves and debris blocking the cooling fins of the spindle. Over time it will cause the spindles to fail prematurely.
2. Keep the deck underside clean. Once you see bubbling on the deck that means the deck is beginning to delaminate and the steel is getting thin. Be sure to keep water and wet grass off the underside of the deck. Best way is to scrap the deck after each mowing to keep any wet grass off the deck.

To install the new belt follow the arrangement that the failed belt came off. General rules - belt goes most the way (half or more) around the crank pulley. Belt goes most the way (half or more) around each spindle pulley. Idle pulleys the belt goes less than half way around. These are general rules, not true in EVERY case.

Hopefully this video helps you if you need to replace a deck belt on your DYT4000.
