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

I bought this to replace an old belt on my mower. Its a Craftsman DYS 4500, model number 917 287251. Pros 1. Worked and fit like a charm. 2. Mower performance was better with a nice, tight, new belt. Cons 1. None. If you have the same mower, this will fit no problem. Hope that helps. Cant speak to long term durability but it has lasted a year so far so heres hoping.

The item was easy to install and it was the right size. This is a great company to do business with.

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.

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.

Liked ! Fast delivery.

Works great on 03 craftsman yts3000 with 42” deck

Fit well. No problem so far.

Broke after five minutes of use,had to go to tractor supply and buy a different brand belt that is still going strong

Thank you very much recommended

Tried to save $7 with a cheaper one… big mistake. This one replaces my Craftsman deck belt just fine..
