Review: Fit was good, survived first mow with no issues, doesn't make a good first impression out of the box - Used belt for Blade Deck Drive for an older model Craftsman 42" riding mower, model # 917.271740. 'Review' is not an effort to influence your purchase decision one way or another. It is just feedback on my impressions, thoughts or experience with the item. Installation is easier if you've done it before, especially if 'recently'. If you haven't done one before, maybe a good idea to get a belt diagram before starting. If you've done it before, it'll probably be easy to remember, just pay attention as you take them off. Just take your time, try to get as much clearance as you can between deck and mower frame. I did NOT remove the deck from the mower, just squeezed in as possible. The 'belt guides/protectors' typically bend back with finger pressure. There is a frame guard/guide bolted on mine that I was able to get the belt by without removal. One note on putting the belt back on that caught me out the last time I did it. One of the mandrels (on my mower) had one guard on the top belt pulley, the other had two. Make sure you have belt fully on pulley and not on 'top' of one of the guides. If you don't, you'll be buying another belt near immediately..... It is at lower end of price scale, but not the cheapest. I picked it primarily as I needed next day delivery and was ordering on weekend. Unfortunately, it arrived late the next day, so I was still foiled in my repair effort for the short term. +Part number via most guides calls for: 532144959 I've seen 95 1/2", 95 1/4" and 95" listed for this number. The belt in this review stated it was 95". I'd say 'fit is good'. IF I COULD, I'd probably get it about 1/4" longer, for just a bit more slip on disengage, but I'd tried another 95 1/2" some time ago and memory says it was too long and didn't fully engage. I assume there are minor variances in these lengths from mfr to mfr, country to country of production. The belt fully engage blades and had only the slightest 'drag' on disengage. Just don't ever put your hands in blades path if motor is running regardless.... +I've used it only once. After letting it 'seat in' on idle, I mowed for about 2 hours. I checked the belt afterwards and it SEEMS FINE. There is no fraying that I see. (I've had belts, stated to be correct size, that frayed on the edge after 10 mins of mowing. This one seems fine and it is too early to if it will show any stretch or stretchability. (Note: In looking at options and reviews, I saw at least one review that said a belt had 'stretched 6" after using'. I find that one difficult to fathom. I could see a belt breaking, but not stretching 6".) +Noise level from belt was negligible. This is a very old mower. Noise from mandrels, blades and motor greatly overwhelm any belt noise. +It is too early to give a real review on durability, but passing the 'first use' test, I assume it'll be fine. -The belt was packed in a small box, wrapped in a very tight coil. This gives a 'poor initial impression', compared to a v-belt that comes in a normal v-belt slip cover. I stretched it out and put it in the sun just trying to get some of the tight crimps out of it. I was concerned the kinks would affect installation, but it had limbered up enough that installation wasn't a problem. (It was upper 80s and in the sun.) -The belt itself 'looks cheap' compared to other belts I've bought. There is no 'fabric cover' or any material on outside of belt that some of these carry. It may be unfair to state, but my first impression out of the box was that it was 'black plastic'. It wasn't, but the material doesn't give a great impression. Some say they are 'kevlar', which may be an overstatement, but I'm not 100% sure what this one is made out of. Again, see above on it ran in fine, so we'll see how it holds up. At this point, I'm not going to give it penalty points just on how it looks. I may need to buy an extra belt and put it on the shelf, but for the time being, I'm going to give this a full 5 rating and then see how it holds up. Other than concern about material and the look, it fit fine and survived the first mow. At that price, I might consider a different brand and material, and put a 'backup' on the shelf. But I'll probably just 'use for time being' and see how it holds up.
Review: Great product - True fit and great price!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fit was good, survived first mow with no issues, doesn't make a good first impression out of the box
*by F***V on June 23, 2025*
