D&D PowerDrive 954-05001 Troy BILT Kevlar Replacement Aramid Belt 1/2 x 43

Only lasted about four months. The original belt lasted 9 years.

Everything was great

went on with no problem. seems sturdy and has no slippage at all. Havent had it long enough for a durability review but everything else is great about it. Installed on a TB 30R

Based on the reviews Im guessing this fits the TV30R well but not the TB30 it shredded almost immediately. Looks like theres a bolt and small lever buy the middle wheel that it catches on and is just a little too thick.

While this one lasted more than a few hours as mentioned in other reviews, this should have lasted more than a few months. Made in China garbage.

Belt did not last one season, it broke my deck attachment safety switch when it came apart.

Good fit

Broke after one summer, proximately three months, while the original manufacturer belt lasted five years.

It seems to frey pretty easily.

Im guessing that the worn brake pad that rides up against the belt and spindle is the culprit. Im replacing that and the spindle. The spindle spins OK when off the mower, but I thought it, being old and worn, might overheat and bind. Its useful to have all these parts on hand so you dont have to wait. And thats a problem here in East Central Florida, where the grass and weeds can be knee high without cutting once a week in the summer. My original belt seemed to have mostly atomized. I didnt have to remove it and had a real struggle getting the new one on. These belts are advertised as being 53 inches long. The OEM belts are supposed to be 53 11/16 inches. I dont know if the supposed length difference makes the belt harder to get on or if the real issue was the cc30 manuals instructions that dont seem to be complete or well ordered.
