D&D PowerDrive 954-05001 Troy BILT Kevlar Replacement Aramid Belt 1/2 x 43

Worked great and then it didnt started slipping and the blades wouldnt work.

The OEM mower deck belt is slightly longer than this belt, close to 1/2. The belt that was shipped is 43 as advertised. Being too short allows the blade to run even when its suppose to be disengaged. Do not buy this belt.

Fit well on my Troy Built TB30 lawn tractor

Super easy to install 5 bolts no need to remove the deck, saved my sons skin after he decided to do “boy stuff” with it.

Great fit.

I really dont know i never used it i bought the wrong thing so its just sitting here

Belt arrived looking good and of quality construction. It took a few minutes to drop the cutting deck and remove the old belt. The old belt was still functional but started slipping under load telling me its about worn out. I PROPERLY installed the new belt and lubed up the pivots and such while I had easy access to the areas. I fired up the mower and tried it out. Success. The belt performs well and doesnt slip. I do notice a periodic vibration when operating the cutting deck but Im guessing the new belt just needs to break in a bit and will operate more smoothly. I have only used it for a few hours (2-3 mowings) so I cant comment on the longevity of the belt.

Havent put the belt on yet but it seems to be very nice quality and the price was not bad .

Belts fit my Troybilt neighborhood Rider, seem to last longer than oringal belts

D&D falsely advertises description as Kevlar & Aramid & as proper 43 replacement for 954-05001/754-0500 genuine Troy-Bilt belt. This is NONE of these. Kevlar & Aramid are copyrighted names for the same substance - It cannot have both names. It is one, the other, or none. Original Troy-Bilt belt 954-05001/754-0500 is 43.450 long, NOT 43 long - WRONG SIZE. It is NOT a proper replacement for a genuine Troy-Bilt 954-05001/754-0500 belt. There MAY be circumstances where you might want a shorter belt, but a proper OEM belt replacement? NOPE. Likely why they are breaking. There IS another Troy-Bilt belt that is 43.0 long - D&D is mixing the two up.
