Review on High-Performance Replacement Belt For AYP And Husqvarna Lawn Mowers - Stens 265-106 by Jerry Moody

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 thing - its labeled like it should be so it should be fine,And it was fine for the first 3 mow's - I have 1.5 acres to cover and I tend to do it in 4th gear your mileage may very .The local hardware store has a huge assortment of belts, so I will take the original to them and see if they have something closer then this is.
