Replacement Belt for Husqvarna tractor was the right belt as described. Belt fit and performed as well as the original for 1/3 the price of a Sears replacement belt.

2.) Great Bargain...worked great...still working great..Thank You

I was skeptical due to the extreme price difference, however, I have been pleasantly surprised. I have been using the mower with the new belt the last couple of months with no problems. I would highly recommend this product.


3.) Extend The Life of your New Belt

I've been reading the mixed reviews on belt quality. I expect to get from 100-150 hours out of a belt. I replace both mower deck belts 174368/174369 during the same season. I purchased my 1st set from Sears. They lasted almost 2 seasons (around 100 hours). I just installed new belts this season. They have already seen alot of abuse due to extremely high/wet grass. Most belts that break prematurely, break because of 1 of 2 reasons: neglect, due to heavy build-up on the top and/or bottom of the mower deck. Wet grass built up on the bottom creates extra work for the mower/drive belts. Heavy grass build-up on the top of the deck pushes the belt upward, not allowing it to track properly. Clean your mower deck after each use especially if you are mowing high grass. This will extend the life of your belts. The second cause is mechanical (1) misalignment, or (2) binding due to lack of lubrication (my deck has grease fittings) in either case the mower deck will need to be removed and inspected for damage. You should get 1-2 seasons (100+ hours) out of a any belt with proper preventative maintenance. I will update this if necessary.

After waiting 10 days to get the belt and spending an hour to put it on the lawn mower It broke after cutting the lawn once. All the other belt I have had lasted several years.

6.) These Cheap Belts are Cheap

Interesting to note that no one has commented on how belts have performed after a good amount of service. Any belts will perform well initially. The reality is that these belts have about one fifth of the service life of a quality belt. Mine came apart after less than one season of mowing. That would be fine for me if they were one fifth the price of a good belt, but they are not. I routinely buy cheap stuff and usually get away with it. Not this time. Recommend you save yourself the time and money and just go buy your belts at Tractor Supply.
