New Stens Belt 258-089 5/8" x 89"

The belt I received was clearly shorter than 89" because after it failed to fit I bought an OEM belt instead. The OEM belt went on with ease so this ones quite a bit shorter than 89". I generally replace at least 10-12 belts a year on tractors I repair to flip in the spring and for people I know well and I've only ran across this issue twice now in many yrs. Not sure about the first shorted belts brand that was just too long ago but its very frustrating and always cost customers. Most likely I'll use it sooner or later on another tractor as these are the best belts made when they fit right.
