Fit on the John Deere tractor and works great

This belt is it. Direct replacement. Works great.

If anyone has ever tried replacing a John Deere lawn tractor deck drive belt, then you all know that the only belt that actually ever works and will last more than a few hours is an OEM John Deere belt. And you also know that most every local mower/tractor repair shop is not an approved JD dealer, so all their replacement parts, including belts are from aftermarket suppliers. Which means you need to drive who know how far to locate an OEM JD dealer. Well, this is, in fact, an OEM JD deck drive belt that fits and wears like it should. OEM JD stuff is not cheap, but having at least a dozen non OEM belts hanging in my shed that didnt work, they are worth the price if they last and don't wear out in a few hours time. With all the crazy stuff John Deere is up to recently, I hope Amazon can keep supplying these belts for years to come. It's nice to have a part that works that I don't need to take an entire day to drive almst a hundred miles to get. Thank You Amazon.

The quality of the product is as expected, the delivery was an issue. The delivery, which normally, is about 4-6 days, this time took almost 3 weeks. With no explanation from the supplier.
