Description

This belt keeper rod is for lawn mowers. On lawn mowers, a system of pulleys turns the cutting blade. A belt drives the pulleys and the electric clutch, and the engine powers the belt. The belt keeper rod is critical to the operation of the lawn mower, as it guides the belt as it moves between the pulleys. It stabilizes the belt while creating minimal friction on the belt itself. All of this ensures that the mower belt does not break or wear out prematurely. The belt keeper rod may need to be replaced if it becomes loose or bent, which can happen over time with repeated use of the lawn mower. Belt keeper rods may also fall off and become damaged by being run over by the mower. Due to the location of the belt keeper rod, wearing gloves is recommended when replacing this part. Care must also be taken to ensure that the mower does not accidentally turn on when the belt keeper rod is being replaced. This belt keeper rod is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is sold individually. It is compatible with lawn mowers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt.
