D&D PowerDrive ORB-H-1101 Cub Cadet MTD 754-0461 954-0461 Kevlar Replacement Belt, 1/2 x 78, 4LK Section, Rubber

This belt is not the same size as OEM and had to be replaced to get the mower to move at more than a crawl. This is a very labor intensive project and I landed paying a shop to figure out what happen and install the OEM belt.

I have used the D&D power drive belts for a few years now on deck drive and wheel drive applications. With that being said, I have never had one of them fly apart. Installed properly the belt will last a long time. Installing the drive belt is suggested in the owners manual that you have a professional do the work, Im no professional! What you need to do is drop mower deck and remove. Raise front of tractor and use jack stands or similar for bracing. You will need a 1/2 breaker bar or impact and a 15 inch adjustable wrench to remove blade clutch off of crankshaft. Place wrench on double flats just above bolt head in shaft. Use breaker bar or impact to remove bolt and clutch assembly. You may need two sets of hands for this. Replace drive belt in same configuration it came off. There is a picture in manaual that should show routing of belt around idler pulleys in middle of frame. When placing clutch assembly on shaft it helps to feed belt on to pulley at same time. DO NOT re-tighten bolt with impact, use a torque wrench and torque bolt 36 to 50 foot pounds. I went down the middle on specification. Reinstall deck, done!

Seems to fit well and works good.

Seems to be good quality. Just installed with no issue.

Was very impressed by the great price and quality

Fit and seems sturdy but as for longevity I cannot say.

Used on Cub Cadet Super Lt1554 to replace 754-0461. Belt fit was loose and not at all right. Tried to use a stiffer spring on the tensioner. With tensioner at max still slipped. Absolute garbage. I suspect its a little too long and that most left reviews too soon. I literally couldnt climb a hill. The job to put it on can be extremely difficult if your pulley is stuck etc. Trust me doing it twice is absolutely no fun. Dont buy this belt

Fit great

2008 Cub Cadet 1000 series tractor. Worked as advertised. Fit according to specifications. Would order again.

Great value. Exact match for my mower.
