D&D PowerDrive - ORB-12827-144959-4LK950 Kevlar Replacement Belt AYP Sears Roper Husqvarna, 1/2 x 95, 4LK Section, Rubber

This belt worked perfect. Make absolutely sure you install the belt correctly - use belt guide diagram on mower. Most mower decks have two idler pulleys. One is used to adjust static belt tension and will lock into place with wrench. The other pulley is attached to the mower engagement lever. When installing belt over engine pulley, use a socket wrench to rotate engine when installing onto engine pulley - its a very tight fit. For the first 20-30 minutes of mowing the blades may rotate without engaging the lever, this is normal. After initial break-in (30-40 min of mowing), the engagement lever can be used as normal and mower blades will stop rotating when dis-engaged.

DO NOT BUY!!! This is NOT a true 144959 belt. A 144959 belt is 95.5” long where this one is only 96” long!! Not only will it be extremely difficult to install but it will be so tight that your mower deck will not turn off. This product needs to have its product code changed because IT IS NOT THE CORRECT LENGTH. Installed and made one pass on my lawn and the belt snapped. If you know you need a 95” belt then this will work for you but if you need a legitimate 144959 belt BUY ELSEWHERE!!!

Just tried using my lawnmower with this belt today 8/4/18 after first installing it last June. At first couple of 40 passes, all seemed fine. Then I noticed my blades slowing down. After checking, I discovered this belt had stretched like a rubber band. Buy it if you wish but you might want to buy several which would end up costing more than a better belt plus youd have to install it each time. This belt only worked as it should 3/4 of one summer on a 75 x 150 lot.

works

This belt is better quality than the original belt was, and the shipping was on time.

I ordered a belt and got it in. I promptly put it on and went straight to cutting my lawn. I cut about five feet when it broke. I was upset that it broke but I had noticed that it felt soft and that one portion of the belt looked deformed but thought I would give it a try anyway. As it turns out, my assumption was obviously correct. I turned it into Amazon for a exchange and I got it about 2-3 days later, then one of my pulleys broke just after I installed the 2nd and finished the front yard, which is a totally different review for another product on Amazon. As for what happened to the 2nd belt, when the pulley broke that belt slid, created a smokey fog, that forced my eyes shut once I stopped and turned the motor off, and turned toasty black on the back side but it never broke. I wasnt certain if it would survive even if I replaced the pulley but I decided to bet on it, after all I couldnt exchange it for another because it wasnt defective, it wasnt broken due to quality issues and its cause was mechanical failure that was not due to this seller. I ordered the pulleys (replaced both deck bearing pulleys to exercise caution) and installed them and this 2nd belt, which is more dense and is much tougher than even I expected, compared to the first. I just mowed the entire property without any issues. Its a shame that it doesnt have that wonderful new pulley color and look but as long as it works, I can live with that and i will come back to this seller again as long as the quality is as good as the 2nd pulley currently seems.

Ordered multiple belts, for my mower, and my neighbors mower. My mower has been used for about 8 hours total since installing these belts, and theyre falling apart. Ive had this mower for a decade, and I replace belts every 2 years. Ive NEVER had a problem previously, these are just pure junk.

Good belt

Fair price, fast shipping, who can complain?

Not even close to the right size for this mower. 4 inches too long.
