This is an authentic manufacturer sourced replacement belt specially designed for use with walk-behind lawn mowers. This is the the main belt that drives the blades. Over time rubber belts tend to stretch out or break eventually requiring replacement. When replacing this belt, make sure to clean off the drive pulleys to prolong the life of the new belt. This part is made out of durable rubber and it is sold individually.
You will need a set of wrenches to replace this drive belt.
• Remove the belt cover
• Move the belt guard
