D&D PowerDrive ORB-H-1118 Craftsman Poulan Noma 429636, 197253 Kevlar Replacement Belt, 1/2 x 101, 4LK Section, Rubber

These d&d belts are tough as they come. The people who say they break after a use or just come a part have other pulley,belt routing, and or wrong belt length issues. Ive used the d&d belts for years now on various types and brands of equipment. I have never had a all out breakage and i have used them on equipment the was pushed well beyond there intended use and the only belt breakage ive had was a burn through and that was my fault for trying to use one belt instead of two in a high power / high load application.

Belt seems strong and well made, was easy to install and fit like a glove!

belt is fine. as advertised. A sticker for belt routing is located around the foot panel under a lot of mowers.

What I like most about this belt is how it fit my tractor. The 2 belts I ordered before this 1 said they were for my model but they weren’t. I’ve only mowed for a cpl hrs w/ this belt so idk about durability, but it fits, it works & that’s good enough for me. (:

I’m wouldn’t call this belt a total failure, but this belt shredded about a year after I installed it. The OEM belt lasted longer and didn’t shred.

Easy to install. Works on Craftsman 917.289101. This drives the mower blades, not the belt you need to propel the mower forward and backward.

Seems a much better quality belt than the manufacturer installed. The tractor design is not the best but replacing the original with this belt was not the drama that several YouTube videos would lead you to believe - a bit tedious but not difficult. Tractor performs like new. We will see how long the belt lasts.

great price

Works perfectly.

I bought a few replacements belts in the past and they never lasted more than a few times mowing. I was all but ready to buy a craftsman original until I read the post that a fellow used it on a craftsman DYS 4500 and had great luck. I have the same mower DYS 4500 so I thought I give it a try. The belt is slightly longer than the original, but it’s slightly thicker so it takes up the slack. I mowed about 15 times just under a acre of lawn. Shows no signs of wear. Just ordered a spare one. I was going to order two but thought this one is working so well why do I need two spares. Special thanks to the poster with the DYS 4500.
