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

The belt stretched and would slip when under a load going uphill. I had to put a shorter spring than the stock one to make it grip tight enough to stop slipping.

The description stated it was made as a replacement for the Cub Cadet LT1045 but it wasnt even close!!

Did a lot of research for a new belt for my 2007 LT1045 and liked the reviews of this one but was worried about the work required to change it. After the deck was removed I lifted the mower from onto cinder blocks to get underneath it. Next I took the shield of the top of the engine to expose the fly wheel and stuck a large flathead into the teeth and used the solenoid as a brace. With the output shaft now held in place I used a breaker bar to remove the electronic clutch. Installing the new belt was super easy. First feed it back all the way back around the transmission then slide the engine pulley down and put the belt on it. (Second picture) NO NEED TO REMOVE THE ENGINE. If it’s stuck use some pb blaster on it. After the engine pulley is back on all that is left is the three pulleys in the middle( First picture). Put it on the one with the spring and tensioner first then over the last one. And reattach the deck clutch using the flathead again to stop the output shaft from turning. And that is it. Took me about 35 min to change it out.

Very good looking belt just like the drive belt I got. But this deck belt is too short for my cub 46 . I put it on threw it off twice. Measuring my old one its shorter. Im going to re- order

ok

It fit

Removed battery and sealed gas tank with plastic bag under gas cap, laid mower on its right side against hill, cordless drill impact didnt work so fed about 3 ft of rope into the spark plug hole and used torque wrench to loosen clutch nut, slid clutch off, sprayed pulley with liquid wrench and hit pulley with hammer gently (it bends easy) and luckily it slid down, installed belt using pics from other reviews here and it works good, recheck oil level and I started without choking the first time cuz mower had been on its side for an hour

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

Great value. Exact match for my mower.

Good quality fast delivery Good price
