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

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.

Quick delivery and good product. The belt fit with no issue and seems to be holding up just fine

fast shipping, worked like it should

just like oem

It fit

Met expectations, operatingas required.

Was nearly half the price than Tractor Supply store an very good strong quality.

Quick and good fit

I had the mower apart for some other maint, and thought I would proactively replace this belt. The old belt had 125 hours on it. This belt lasted 4 hours and separated into stringy pieces. UPDATE: I think I have a bad pulley, so it was not the belt that was the problem

It fits! Though putting this simple drive belt onto your Cadet mower isnt all that simple. But you can do it! Dont attempt this unless you have an impact driver to wrestle the electric PTO nut off holding it to the shaft. Plus involves lifting the motor to slip the belt onto the pulley. This is work for changing a simple belt. Im glad MTD has my back & would appreciate their participation in helping us lawn mower owner drivers to fix our machines.
