to the reviewers that stated this belt is not for a variable speed tractor. did you ever find an aftermarket belt that worked well? thanks

No. After ordering and installing aftermarket belts, removing the body to adjust the idler pulley as far as it can go and the tractor still will not stop due to the deep V, I bought a factory belt at a higher cost. You may want to try to contact the aftermarket sellers and ask if they are deep V traditional belts or shallow V as is needed to function properly.

If you are getting them from a seller selling these belts then they are not deep v and work perfect. But if you get a seller selling cheaper regular belts in there place then no deep v wont work

I didn't buy this exact model. Picked mine up from harbor freight so I didn't have to wait for shipping, but I have put many many hours on it so far, and it is still running strong. You may need to take a link or 2 out as it stretches, but the belt seems to be durable and long lasting.

I purchased the mowerat Sears. They fixed the drive belt (took them 6 weeks cto get here). Supposedly it isn'tcoveredunder warranty but the repairman coded it so that it was covered.

Hi. Yes It works just fine. I took a good look at mine yesterday. It still looks very good with no signs of slipping and it ran good all last summer with the air on with no problems. I wish I would have found this 4 belts and several pulleys ago.

My belt did not last very long but I am not sure it was a problem with the belt. Although the belt matched the specs in the owners manual, a mechanic looked at my mower and recommended a belt 1 inch tighter than spec because the belts I had (I was going through a lot of belts) were slipping and wearing out prematurely.

This is for the mower deck. Not a drive belt. The belt sold here only attaches to the two pulleys from the blades then to the accessory pulley coming from the engine.

I'm unsure of which belt problem that was, but I haven't had any belt issues. this yard tractor has been awesome so far. I've purchased the leaf bagger also and haven't had an issue

Hi,I'm not sure of the belt speed but I can tell you it is not variable. Just on and off.

This is one of the main reasons why I sent mine back. There is a way to tighten and loosen the belt by using the included tool, but that has a chance at making it slip and slide even more.

In my experience with the engines of that era, this alternator will not work as a drop in replacement. It will require a mounting system completely different from the generator and a wider pulley, and I assume you have already done the 12 v. conversion.wider pulley to accept the belt

The speed should not be a concern to you. Read the operators manual and it will instruct you on how to tune in the belt so it doesn't slide off.

Nancy, I am not sure what you are asking do the the lack of any detail in your question. I will wing it and see if we get lucky:) The belt in questions does fit a John Deere tractor with a 48 in deck. That said, now for the rest of the story. When I was searching to find the correct belt part number I found that John Deere used two different part numbers for the belt. The one that I purchased and a flat belt. You can determine which one by using the John Deere parts finder here http://jdpc.deere.com/jdpc/servlet/com.deere.u90490.partscatalog.view.servlets.HomePageServlet_Alt. You will need the serial of your tractor to be sure that you are getting the correct part. if you need any more help just ask.

When I was looking for the belt for my sear riding mower I was told that the part number 144959 is the belt that it took and it was going to be 95" Length and with a 1/2" width. ANd that was the size that I would need and to make sure it had a Aramid Fiber or (Kevlar) on the outside so it would last. Hope this helps you.Mike T,

I purchased it as a ground drive belt for a Scotts 1642 riding mower. Worked great.

The only negative I read was from someone trying to use this belt for hi-torque/stress farm applications- NO! My guess- for 3hp motors or less for lower speed/higher torque ranges or for putting pressure on at higher RPM's- It is a less rigid, "stretchier" belt that will slip with higher power applications.
