Replacement belts for snow blower
Received the correct belts. Removed old belts and installed new ones. Snow thrower runs much better now. Won't know for sure until it snows but ran blower with covers off and could see that belts ran much tighter to the pulleys, no wobbling.

Right part, speedy delivery.
My part arrived quickly and equally important it was OEM for my 10+ yo Craftsman-branded snowblower. I cant count on Sears/Craftsman anymore, so I count on your firm to have my back. Thanks!!!
