High-Performance Replacement Belt For AYP And Husqvarna Lawn Mowers - Stens 265-106 Review

This belt has lasted 4 years (approx 200 hours) of pretty hard use. We use the mower (DYS 4500) for lawn, pasture and weed mowing. Buying another one because it has stretched.

I purchased it as a replacement of the original mower belt (#405143 V-Belt) on my Craftsman Lawn Tractor (Model 917.289283). It turned out to be a perfect fit as it was the right length with the perfect cross section.Its price was a tad higher than on other online retailers but still acceptable given Best Buy's prime service.Installation was easy by following the path of the original belt and some help from the Craftsman's Owner Manual.The fact that it was manufactured in the USA was a definite

I usually ignore bad reviews, when they are in the minority. It came back to bite me this time. The belt went on easily onto my Husqvarna. It started up, and spun the blades well in my driveway. By the time I drove from my garage to my backyard, the belt had frayed and completely disintegrated. I probably would have been better off gluing or even tying the old belt back together than using this product. It was a complete waste of time, and I still can't mow my lawn.

I have bought several belts for my lawnmower, as it loves to chew them up. There are better ways to build a lawnmower, but that's a different review. I usually get five or six mowing out of a belt on my one acre yard. This belt just keeps going. It has lasted much longer then any other belts on the market. I will be buying this one again.

I purchased this belt for a Craftsman Model 917 lawn tractor and while it fit, it broke on only the second usage. When looking at other belts just now, I noticed a comment for another supposedly original Craftsman belt that said it was the salt and pepper original not a cheap black belt. Well, the photo for this shows the salt and pepper belt, but the one I received was black and obviously of poor quality. So, unless they are sending different types of belts within this product type, I would…

It works like it should, just like a belt should. Still working today. I have had no issues with it at all. Could be prone to over-adjustment!

I like the price, but I swear it is loose. It seems to be between 1/4" and 1/2" too big - still within the specs for my mower but I'm not sure if that is the design. Since I am replacing the old belt because of stretching, not breaking, I don't know how that will impact the lifespan of this belt.

Ate up a mower belt on my Craftsman YTS4000 and choked at the $54 with tax and shipping to order an OEM part#405143 from Sears. Originally ordered a cheaper-than-this belt off Best Buy from a different merchant that was supposed to be a 405143 replacement, but when it arrived, it was about 5 inches too short (101 inches, instead of the 106" that it should have been). I almost went to order the expensive Sears belt but decided I would give Best Buy one more chance. --I made sure to pick a…

Works on an Ariens Model# 93608500 Product# 960460063 riding mower. Seems like it is slightly better than the original equipment! I am keeping the cardboard sleeve to make reordering easier!

Perfect fit for my Husqvarna YTH21K46 mower. Replaces mower belt 532 40 51-43 (532405143).Installed it this weekend and seems fine. I will update this review if I have any problems down the road.

Fits well on my Husqvarna rider. Took about 15 minutes to put on and only because a few of the screws were tough to turn. I have rider model# YTH21K46. Works fine. Even if you don't need one I'd buy it to have on hand when the other snaps or gets to stretched out. Besides a few screws to loosen for some saftey covers so you can get the belt past them really no tools required. Pretty easy if you look at the belt setup picture on mower deck.

This fit perfectly on my 48" rider, and the belt slipping stopped and the speed was back up to what it was when I first got it. It's lasted 3 summers, so seems to have been worth the cost.

First set had the incorrect size in the package. Returned and ordered immediately (pain free :) ). Second set came quickly. My hubby said these went on easier than any he had put on our mower! We ordered 2 because we seem to go through them and they were 1/2 the price of buying at Sears. We also had the problem at Sears of getting the incorrect size part in the package. Beware that this seems to be a common occurance with all parts now. Always check for the correct part inside packaging!

I have a Sears lawn tractor - 46 inch deck - model number 917.28827.This arrived just fine, and when I put it on it was about as loose as the the ore I was replacing because that one was popping off.So I took it back off and tried comparing them by hand, and it seemed the new one was longer but thicker, and had a completely different composition - not rubbery like the original.So I went ahead and put on the new one, figuring they must know what they were doing when they redesigned the darn…

Had to remove the cutting deck to install the belt but that part was relatively simple. Belt appears to be of good quality and fit very well. I did compare the length with the old belt. The new belt appeared to be about an inch shorter but that is to be expected as the old belt was worn out to the point of breakage. I only did a small amount of cutting after the install but the belt seems to run very true with less noise and vibration than before. The cost was about 1/3 of the original…

It stretches when it heats up from heavy job. WorthlessCompare to: Technology Parts Store Mower Deck Belt Part # 405143 532405143.Also from Best Buy. I've used this one - it can handle big jobs again and again.

It was pretty plainly packaged but that's not a big deal to me as long as it performs as expected which it does. I have no idea yet if it will last a long time or not, only time will tell, but at this point I have no complaints. It's doing the job fine.

Fit my Husqavar lawn mower perfectly and was less than half the price of the same item locally. Arrived quickly, belt is very high quality.

Belt was super easy to install.This is to replace an old belt for the cutting deck on my Husqvarna riding mower.Belt shredded before I was half way done cutting my yard the first time.Shipped back to Best Buy for refund.Good price - very poor product.Would advise anyone not to buy this product.

Belt was for my 46" husq. riding mower. Belt only lasted 1 hour and stretched and frayed beyond use. Good price but not quality. UPDATE, I sent the belt back to Stens ($8.00} and received letter dated June 13, 20019 stating they do not stand behind their any warranty and I must go back to the Stens dealership which in this case is Best Buy. I used the belt for back-up so time has passed since purchase and Best Buy or Sten refuse to make good on their defective product.
