Seems as good or better than any belt.

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.

Pros
  • Fits like original equipment
Cons
  • Could be prone to wearing out prematurely

This product bears the "Made in USA " imprint.

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

Pros
  • This belt replaces OEM works as it should would buy again
Cons
  • Could cause damage to the mower deck if not installed correctly

Please don't ignore the bad reviews.

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.

Pros
  • Worked great and great price
Cons
  • May not work well with mulching blades

This is the belt to buy

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.

Pros
  • Work good
Cons
  • May not perform as well in wet conditions

Buy a different product!

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…

Pros
  • just like orginal
Cons
  • May not provide sufficient power for heavy mowing

Works like a belt best in my review

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!

Pros
  • Appeared to be a well built belt, perfect fit
Cons
  • Could be prone to over-adjustment

Slightly loose fit: my feedback

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.

Pros
  • Fast, fit, fiendishly cheap
Cons
  • Could be difficult to install for those who are not mechanically inclined

Fits my Craftsman YTS4000 Garden Tractor

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…

Pros
  • Great mower belt. Very pleased with product quality.
Cons
  • Could cause damage to the pulleys if not properly installed

Blade belt for Ariens mower

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!

Pros
  • Ease of installation is not the belt manufacturers fault, the belt itself seems to fit well.
Cons
  • Expensive price tag

Perfect fit for a Husqvarna YTH21K46 mower

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.

Pros
  • It works great and got it in a very short length of time.
Cons
  • May not work as well in extreme heat

Works fine. Even if you don't need one I'd buy .

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.

Pros
  • Good as oem
Cons
  • Could be difficult to find replacement parts for

This fit perfectly on my 48 " rider, and the .

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.

Pros
  • Fit my riding mower well
Cons
  • Could cause excessive vibration

Good quality belt: my feedback

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!

Pros
  • Fits my husqvarna 22v46 46in deck.
Cons
  • May not fit properly on older mower models

This is not the right size for me too.

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…

Pros
  • Just what I needed, fast delivery, perfect fit.
Cons
  • May not last as long as expected

Fits Husqvarna CT151 Perfectly

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…

Pros
  • Exactly what I thought it was gonna be
Cons
  • May not effectively handle heavy-duty tasks

It can't handle heavy jobs - STRETCHED

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.

Pros
  • Fit better than the one I paid twice as much for, so far so good
Cons
  • May not work well with aftermarket blades

It does the job fine.

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.

Pros
  • Perfect deck belt replacement for my 2012 Husqvarna YTH22V46 riding mower.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as advertised

Great Value Excellent Service

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.

Pros
  • Great price.
Cons
  • Could wear out quickly with frequent use

Shredded and fell apart on first use

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.

Pros
  • Exactly as described and fit perfectly.
Cons
  • slips off pulley occasionally

Poor quality: my feedback

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.

Pros
  • Seems to be a little stronger than the original belt that was on my mower. Absolute perfect fit.
Cons
  • May not effectively handle high-speed mowing
