I've attached a photo of the back of the belt packaging to assist with belt installation and to see the entire list of mowers this belt is compatible with. This diagram will come in handy for anyone who has blown their belt off the deck and isn't sure how to re-tension it properly. install. br>br>So far, so good. Genuine replacement belt that fits my L100 mower perfectly. After my previous cheapo belt from Ebay began to shred in less than a season, I decided to invest in a new one. Instead of saving a few dollars by buying a knock-off, I would strongly recommend purchasing this OEM belt. offs.
This belt was a direct replacement for the original on my D130 and was a genuine John Deere part. When routing the new belt around the PTO pulley, be careful. The belt is worn between the sides of the guides rather than behind them (as shown in the illustration). The belt will be too tight if it is placed behind the guides, and the blades will be engaged all of the time. This was not stated in the manual, and I failed to notice it when I removed it. Make sure you don't make the same blunder that I did!.
The belt I received did not have the John Deere logo on it. It wasn't in a John Deere sleeve, by the way. I was in desperate need of a belt, so I made do with what I had. I'm finding belt parts in my yard after 5 mowings; this belt is breaking apart, and I wasn't given what I thought I ordered.
Please double-check that the item you're ordering is an OEM version. If it isn't in original John Deere packaging or isn't clearly marked, it is likely an aftermarket item. The belt shown in the photo is NOT an OEM belt.
This is supposed to fit JD D105. It will cut if the blade is all the way up, but once you put it down, the belt slips. I have it as tight as I can get it, but the belt is about an inch too long. This is something I would never buy again.
This was purchased to replace the belt on our LA115 riding mower, which kept slipping. I planned to show my wife how belts stretch over time, causing them to slip off the pulleys, when it arrived. Because the new and old belts were, as far as I could tell, the same size, I had to make a hand-waving explanation about how the edges of the old belt had worn away, allowing the belt to slip off. Shortly after, I discovered the problem: the mower blade had bent the mower deck due to contact with a fallen branch and a couple of stumps, causing the pulley to become misaligned. Replacement decks are available, but they cost approximately 60% of the mower price. So, with nothing to lose, I slammed the deck with the heaviest hammer I could find until the pulley appeared to be properly aligned. And it was successful! So now I have a new belt and an old belt that works perfectly as a backup.
After about 30 minutes of use, the belt snapped. You'd think that if you spend $40 on a belt, it'll be of good quality, but this isn't the case. Purchase is not recommended.
The belt came in a John Deere sleeve, but after a year of use, I realized it wasn't an OEM part. br>After about a year of use, the mower on my John Deere 125A began to make noises and eventually stopped cutting. When I took off the belt, it was flaking and overstretched. JD belts have a 14-year warranty! At Lowe's, I purchased a new belt.
