Parts for Craftsman 917287011: Mower Deck Parts

Push nut secures components on lawn mowers and tractors. Replace if missing, damaged, or worn to restore proper assembly and prevent parts from loosening.

This is a Husqvarna replacement deck belt. The deck belt, otherwise known as the drive deck belt, transfers the torque from the engine shaft to the transmission's input shaft. This action propels the lawn mower forward and powers the spin of the blade. There could be a number of reasons for a worn down or broken deck belt. Overtightening usually is one of the main culprits. Most belts will eventually succumb to regular wear at some point and require a replacement. There might be a squeaking or whining noise coming from the deck area if a belt is worn down or fastened too tight. Begin replacing the deck belt by raising the deck to its highest level. Remove the deck guards from the mower. Take off the belt-keep rod and remove the idler pulley nuts. Remove the deck belt and repeat these steps in reverse to install the new belt.This part is a genuine OEM product and is sourced individually directly from the manufacturer. This part is compatible with Poulan, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Roper machines.
