Thank you. I've been on their website the last 24 hrs & cannot find "deck". Every nut and bolt, but not just the deck itself. Exasperating.

@Ktrim beat me to it.
I used the Kubota parts site.
Kubota Tractor Corporation - Illustrated Parts List (kubotausa.com)
There's a bunch of ZG222 mower models.
Looks like each might have one or two mower models.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS YOUR YOUR MOWER MODEL.
I only grabbed RCK48P-222 as that one was handy and there's variations of that - - check your mower model and go from there. Can likely search Messicks or Kubota site with your MOWER Model #.
I doubt that the belt sliced your mower deck. To me it looks more like it is rusted out.

Take 2. Use your telephone and CALL Messicks. They have very knowledgeable people there. You need not be able to identify the part number yourself.
A new belt will do you very little good until you get that spindle assy. welded back properly to the deck. No belt will stay aligned on there!
Do you live in an area that has a high concentration of salt air that settles on the grass overnight as dew? That is the only thing that I can think of that would cause your deck to rust out like that.

That mower looks beat to sh*t sadly
Had to read that again, a properly placed comma would have solved any confusion. I too was thinking deck belt.

Why not remove the deck from the tractor, since we all know that it isn't usable in its current state. Then take a picture of the entire top of the deck and we can make suggestions based on that information. It might be possible to have a local welding shop install a new piece of steel into the damaged deck. A friend had to have this done when he learned that his brush hog deck was no longer in production. It was either spend the money for a new brush hog or pay to have the deck fixed. In the end he was very happy with the repair. Once painted it looked like a new.
Look on the other side of the mower deck behind the spindle pulley cover. There should be a MFG plate with model number/letters.
Yes the deck was rusted from the bottom. Deck RCK48P-222Z not cheap by any means . Everyone I know said "go to Home Depot & get a new lawnmower" when they found out what the new deck costs. 13 yrs old on the gulf coast so it lasted doggone good. Our baby !!! Was not a belt problem at all. The mower still worked fine but the gash made it a little dangerous that something could come flying through it. Called Messicks but it was going to be a month delivery. Checked with local dealer & altho $100 more, they assured me 8-10 day delivery so went with the dealer. (Bought our tractor and this mower from this dealer) Can't say enough nice things about Messick folks..Yes and very knowledgeable. Our dealer wasn't able to fulfill the 8-10 day delivery time, but are going to lengths to restore goodwill. Appreciated! Thanks to all for your comments. Only Kubota owners would understand.
