my dad sold Snapper lawn mowers for years. Up till about 1992 there was only ONE belt for a 28" rider.
Didnt matter if your mower was a 1968 or 1986 the belt was still a 25-10749. We only had to stock THREE belts. Then in 92 Snapper went crazy.They came out with more models and kept changing them. Some model years used three or four different belts. You looked up the parts by the series number. They were changing so often they Snapper added letters to the series. Now, there was a series 16, series 16B all the way up to series 16ABE then they came out with series 17 and start over
If the customer did not bring the series number. They was NO WAY I was going to order the correct belt. Snapper would not take returns. If I ordered the wrong belt. I was stuck with it. I would Send them back home to get the numbers and they get mad!
We quit selling Snappers in 2001. I still at least 30 belts in the cabinet. People come looking for a belt I never have the correct one and I send them to a snapper dealer to get their belt.
They are way more sizes and parts then there way back when companies used a little common since and reused part numbers on several models.
I can remember when Ford only had two different starters,One or two oil filters. How many starters and filters would you have to stock today just to fit Fords?

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
