This replacement belt is an authentic OEM sourced component which is specially designed for use with Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt and MTD snowblowers. It is the belt which runs from the transmission pulley to the engine pulley. Unfortunately, over time belts tend to wear out and stretch eventually requiring a replacement to maintain top performance. This item is made of high-quality rubber and is sold individually. When connecting the belt on pulleys, first connect 2 or 3 teeth of the belt to the grooves of both pulleys, then turning the pulleys connect all teeth of the belt. Check the appropriate diagrams for your model for the correct installation procedure.
