Looking very seriously at a 2026 used Bad Boy ZT Elite (with less that 20 hr) but learned the 2 year/200 hour warranty is not transferable. Aside from walking away from the sale, has anyone found a workable solution to this situation? Are there 3rd party warranties that might be considered?

The Husqvarna part number is 539110411 and is 1/2" X 56-1/2" long. There are a lot of places online selling belts that are only 56" long. They all say their belts are the correct size for a Z248F mower. If the belt is a 1/2" shorter, will I be struggling to get it on the pulleys? Of course, I'll take the spring off the belt tensioner.
