MTD 954-0637A Replacement Drive Belt

Needed a belt for my troybilt mower. this was an exact fit!

Took few minutes to replace the belt. Now now mower is self-propelled without hesitation.

The product appears to be made well = 5 stars, but will not fit my mower = 1 star.

I ordered this to replace the belt on a MTD self-propelled lawnmower I inherited from my mother in law. The previous belt must have fallen off in use at some point because it was totally gone. Because of this, I couldn't compare the new belt to the old belt with respect to length. I can say that on the lawnmower I was putting it on, it was a tight fit. My particular lawn mower has a spring that pushes on the deck of the mower to tension the spring. The only way I could see of installing this belt was to fully compress that spring with a C-clamp, but even doing this I had to fight with it and use a screwdriver to pry the belt on to the pulley. The belt did fit and seemed to be the proper length after letting the tension spring tension it. It works great and hasn't slipped at all in the month or so we've had it on. We're probably put a good 2-4 hours on the belt with no issues. Note that this was a genuine MTD part as I received it.

Drive belt for a self propelling lawn mower, MTD PRO. It fit and my lawnmower pulls forward again. Can't ask much more than that

A previous reviewer said $7.50 was outrageous. I might agree... I wonder if it has anything to do with the product saying that the shipping weight is 12 lbs. It would have to be made from lead to weigh that much. It is $18.50 at a local dealer. Lots of places online will beat any local dealer on price.. but to make the difference they jack up the shipping... BEWARE.. on all internet sales. ------- I ordered this belt, after my above review. Although had I known they were going to send me the wrong belt.. I wouldn't have ordered it. They sent me a the older 754-0637a belt in a cardboard container that said it was a 954-0637a !!! I have yet to figure out the difference between them.. but with any searching, you will find this belt falling off the mower is a common problem.. and they don't make new part #'s for the same belt.. so something must have change. If this belt comes off and gets eaten by the blade again.. I will probably come back and rate it even lower. (as I believe the 954 belt will solve my problem.)

This belt has played an integral part in myself no longer having to mow the lawn. With this the self propel feature works flawlessly and now the teenager in the house can mow so I don’t have to. Possibly the best purchase I have ever made!

STill working after summer mowing . last belt broke right away (from someone else).great product.
