Use Massey Ferguson OEM Replacement Belt. Replace GB5123 (1/2" x 136") vs Husqvarna Belt 588 81 43-01 (1/2" x 137.5). About $30 MF vs $60 Hq. MF seems stronger to me by feel and does fit for recommended spring adjust of 5 3/4". Over time the Husqvarna can out stretch the adjustment eye bolt and will throw off the belt when there is any resistance, thick grass, etc. How to measure the spring? Cut a small wood block 5 3/4" for easy line up with the coil.
