Ariens Snow Removal Equipment 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.
