- Craftsman model # 917.275764 Riding Mower Deck belt review.
We use our mowers quite a lot around here and over the years I have used a few different type of replacement Belts. For the Drive train and mower deck. I get 2 to 3 seasons out of drive belts (wheel drive) and for the mower I get 1/12 season over all. But the cheap belts that you get on e-Bay I barely get 1 full season.
You decide, how often do you use the mower? do you service the deck often?
This video applies to most riding mowers with a 42 inch deck different sizes.
BTW the belt size is 1/2" X 95" to 95 1/4

That actually helps a lot. Thanks
Thanks mine did the same thing buying good quality belts from now on lesson learned !
Thanks for the review. after I watched it I found a Gates on Amazon and bought it at a good price.
Thanks..this craftsman mower burns belts before the yard is cut...the bar on my mower around the motor shaft was bent..going to straighten it and give it another shot
yea, that steel is mild so should bend easily. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned lots of mower projects coming up. Mowing season is only 6 months away:)
Thanks much for taking your time to help!
Gates always produced good belts!
Dang, I have an old Gravely going on eight years. I pulled the cover and looked at it this week and it looks well worn. I took a pix and going to pickup a set to hang on the wall, figure I will change in the spring unless I need them sooner. I grease my deck 2-3 times a year and sharpen the blades in the spring.
I would also blow the grass and dirt from the top side of the deck whit my leaf blower.
I found keeping that clean helped keep things from going bad. Cheers
Thanks buddy !! great job !!!
Thankyou,going tomorrow for a 42 inch belt, Craftsman riding mower.
Good review....Thanks for the info.
Thanks
I've got a garden tractor Craftsman I just now fuigered out it has what they call a floating deck I broke two brand new secant dairy and deack drive belt
Thanks!
It’s been quite a few years so I was wondering if you’re still mowing with those belts or if you have found a better one for the 1/2” x 95 1/2” Craftsman LT 1000 ( which I have.) I had a backup but it busted as soon as I pushed the engage. I might have put it on wrong but I don’t think so. I was gonna order another but found your video and thought I’d ask? Thanks for the video!
I no longer use these mowers as I moved back to the city (YUK) However I did use the equipment for several years after this video. The gates belts were the way to go.
@@breakerbroke23Sorry about your not being out of the city anymore!
I ordered the Kevlar type from D&D. I’ll keep the Gates version in mind if this one doesn’t work out.
Thanks for responding and for the video!
I have a poulan pro PP19A42 riding mower and can’t find the right size belt. I bought a 42 inch belt and it didn’t fit..
Quick question Ive replaced everything on my mower deck all level and straight as well., spindles mandrels everything and everything is straight. I have an LT2000 craftsman 42 inch mower. Is the pulley under the engine that holds the cutting deck belt but also holds the drive belt higher up suppose to always spin? I understand that its suppose to be a kevlar belt since if the pulley is always spinning as it is attached to the engine the belt is suppose to slip and Kevlar is the only thing that will stand up...I have been using rubber type belts which causes the belt to get warm and eventually it starts gripping ans spinning the ( and eventually breaks very soon after ) blades even when the blades are disengages my lever. So please let me know if this is normal or is pulley on engine is not suppose to spin..The top and bottom pulleys on the engine look like thyy are welded though...
@@outlet6989 yup...the main thing is people need to get the correct belt material and length. dont put a black rubber belt on your cutting deck. It is designed to slip when the engine wheel keeps turning because it never stops turning and the black belts heat up and grab the wheel and thats what causes the blades spinning. you want a kevlar belt so it does not heat up they are only like 20 bucks on ebay or any where.
anytime. also if you like guns...I used to do more videos as a police military trainer when I was younger look up the rhino tactical channel...great advice to shoot like a champ on you tube or at www.rhinotactical.com good luck and blessings!
Everything, We get what we paid for.... most of the time
I just got a new belt for a 46 Inch craftsman mower deck for some reason it has 2 of them and I cant fit both on... Or is there some thing Im missing?
Anyone else have problems running 5/8” x 91” because OEM is 3/8” x 90.8” and I run them for 2 years.
Hey there’s a guy selling 2 of those exact belts for $20 for the pair on eBay right now
Wath rigt size for 42” craftsman LT 1000?
Your deck is missing half it's screw but anyway, what size belts do I need???? No one wants to say that
Go to sears3.com and punch in the model number of your mower (should be under your seat ) .
Look on the breakdown of your mower deck, you should find the belt size that way..
Good luck and cheers.
@@breakerbroke23 Thanks very much. I''ll try that now.

Hey Mike, be sure to follow the manufacturer numbers because I have run into problems with fat belts-
I’m referring to 5/8” belts.
My OEM for my ‘15 Craftsman is 954-0467a. OEM is 3/8” X 90.8”.
This is made by MTD, maker of most mowers (cub, yard, craftsman, MTD) so many parts fit.
Most replaceable belts measure 5/8” x 91”, which in my machine smokes and runs erratic.
It has been a factor in my case-
Just bought a green belt today $42 who buys a $12?
