That thing is mtd #7530685 circuit breaker. I think it is a thermal fuse that will automatically reset after cooling down.

Hey I just bought one of these, would you mind figuring out what size the front and rear belts are, mine came without them?

Evidently, the only belts availible are the genuine ones. I was able to get the set for a way lower price (though still expensive) on Ebay. Here are the part numbers that were on the belts themselves: Engine to vairible speed pulley, 754-0358, vairable speed pulley to transaxle, 754-0432. The engine to variable pulley belt has the same number listed in the manual, but the vairable pulley to transaxle belt has a diffrent number in the manual. Both belts came in a kit, part number was 753-0528. I got the belt kit on ebay, and I think they also sell them on Partstree, for a higher price. The belts are about 3/4" thick. I pulled that info from the posts I have made here: www.gardentractortalk.com/threads/hechinger-mtd-149-818-3727-18hp-tractor.90577/#post-1013452 The belt kit came with a note saying the 1991 and later models use a different belt kit. (Now I can't find the note).
