Craftsman 42" Riding Mower Deck belt review. 

That actually helps a lot. Thanks

Thanks mine did the same thing buying good quality belts from now on lesson learned !

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

Thanks for the review. after I watched it I found a Gates on Amazon and bought it at a good price.

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.

Gates always produced good belts!

Thanks much for taking your time to help!

Thankyou,going tomorrow for a 42 inch belt, Craftsman riding mower.

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 buddy !! great job !!!

Good review....Thanks for the info.

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...

Everything, We get what we paid for.... most of the time

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!

Thanks!

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..

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?

Hey there’s a guy selling 2 of those exact belts for $20 for the pair on eBay right now

Anyone else have problems running 5/8” x 91” because OEM is 3/8” x 90.8” and I run them for 2 years.

Your deck is missing half it's screw but anyway, what size belts do I need???? No one wants to say that

Wath rigt size for 42” craftsman LT 1000?

Just bought a green belt today $42 who buys a $12?
