Ariens Lawn Mower Belt

This is a genuine OEM replacement drive V-belt for a riding lawn mower. The drive V-belt attaches to the drive pulley and transfers rotational motion from the transmission to the mower blade. This causes the blade to then spin and cut grass. By using a belt to transfer motion, the engine does not have to work as hard to spin multiple parts, meaning that it runs more efficiently. Drive V-belts are made of a rubber composite material that will begin to fray and stretch over time. Due to continuous motion, these belts absorb a lot of wear and tear, and if left for too long, they can eventually snap and leave the mower blade non-functional. Therefore, it is wise to check the condition of a V-belt during regular maintenance. As soon as it appears to be wearing away, replace it with a new part using a nut driver and screwdriver. When detaching the lower deck, be sure not to lose the bolt clips, as they are required for reassembly. As a high-quality replacement part, this drive V-belt is directly sourced from its original manufacturer. It is compatible with riding lawn mowers made by Husqvarna, Poulan, Craftsman, and Jonsered. This part ships individually.

A V-belt is responsible for transmitting energy. It is made from a thick and sturdy rubber material. It features grooves for improved traction and measures ½ x 95-1/2. A worn-down v-belt can lead to inefficient energy loss, and therefore poor performance. Installing this v-belt requires pliers and a wrench. First, the spark plug wire needs to be removed. Then, position the mower deck to the lowest possible level. Move the machine's blade engagement level to OFF. Remove the belt found from the engine pulley. Don't forget to take out the bow-tie pins and blade engagement cable as well. Remove the bolt from the pulley cover and loosen the nuts found at the idler pulley. Put the new belt and then tighten the nuts on the idler pulleys. The deck can now be re-assembled to its original position. This Husqvarna 532144959 V-Belt OEM Replacement can help keep a lawnmower in top condition. This genuine Husqvarna made V-belt is specifically for driving the blades on a lawnmower. It is compatible with Ariens, Craftsman, Poulan Pro, Dixon, and Husqvarna mowers. This V-belt is sold individually.
