Well it's been 3 years and I had to replace the belt again. I referenced this thread since I didn't write the belt size down the last time I changed the belt.
Well I either mistyped the belt size three years ago or my mower has shrunk. I bought another 118 belt and it was way too big. I ended up putting a 116 on there and it fits perfect.
Anyway, I thought I better update this in case anyone else digs it up and goes out and buys the wrong belt.
