Installed it by myself, and it fit my Cub Cadet 1042 perfectly. Been using it all summer, and I mow several acres at a time and have put about 40 hours on the mower since the install. I purchased another to have as a back up. NOTE: There were several different LTX 1042's made, so, the first time you need to replace your belt, go to the local dealer, and take your mower's serial number! I took a pictre with my cell phone. Then you know what part to order on line. Otherwise, you may get a belt…
