Restore stable power transfer and consistent blade performance for a cleaner, more efficient cut. Verify your original belt number and 42-inch deck configuration before purchase.

Before installation, inspect pulleys, idlers, belt keepers, tension spring and routing to prevent slipping, edge wear or early belt failure.
