Ariens, Gravely 07200023

This is a great 1/2 x 95.25 drive belt. Cheaper than what’s in the stores locally and went on smoothly. Poulan Riding mower runs as should now. No slippage. That .25 inches of slack makes all the difference in the world. I was running a 1/2 x 95.5 drive belt and it was WAY too big. This fixed that problem.

This new belt is a perfect fit for my John Deere Z445 mower. Excellent material and long lasting. Great price.

Exactly as pictured and advertised. Fit perfectly, easy install, no slippage. It's a nice thick belt, so I expect it to last a decent amount of time. If it does, it will be a good value.

Updating this review in light of the seller's (Derek's Goods) proactive customer service. They reached out to me and provided a full refund of my original purchase price and a free replacement. That says a lot. I might not buy this particular belt again (from any seller) but I would buy from Derek's Goods again as they obviously care about their customers. Getting back to the belt, from my original research, I thought I'd seen both good and negative reviews but, I can't find the same on writing this. However, I do know from my work experience, that sometimes a bad batch of a widgets gets past quality and for Derek's Goods being a reseller, I'm sure they had to eat the cost on this. Again, kudos to Derek's Goods for their proactive customer service ! Don't do it ! Don't buy this belt if it's still available. Bought this for my ZT-X 52. I saw the negative reviews where some folks showed pics of it fraying, cracking and breaking. I discounted them as the reviews were mostly positive thinking, they must of routed the belt incorrectly. Well guess what, I was wrong. Got ~ 8 hrs out it. It's not broke yet but I notice a strip of belt hanging from the back of my mower after using it tonight and I said I better check that out. It's not broke yet but you can see from the pics it's not gonna make it much longer. I got 570 hrs out of the original drive belt and 576 out of the original deck belt which fortunately for that one, I went with an original Ariens belt. AND of course this one made it 9 days past the return window date. Hopefully I can submit this with zero stars. So, if you see I gave it a one, it's only because I had to : (

It's hard to tell how it wears down as I just got it and installed it, but it was my first time installing a deck belt on a Z355E, but it was easy enough to install, it did roll quite a bit. That may have been user error, though. But it felt pretty sturdy and definitely made the blades turn! My original belt was on there way too long, so I will end up repurchasing when it's time to do it again since I know it works.

Early opinion is that this is one of the better after market belts. I bought another one recently and it didn't last very long(it was thinner and less stiff). This one fits in the grooves more snug, it is more stiff(yet pliable), it turns the mandrels more evenly, and when you hit high grass or an obstruction it keeps the blades turning at a fast rate. It can be a pain to initially get on as it is twisted to no end but once you get it on you'll be pleased. We'll give it some time and put it through some more work to see if it truly holds up durability wise(original belt lasted almost a year, 2nd belt a couple of months...have 2wks and 2 cuts with this belt)...for reference I have a large property I mow(over 2acs), so the review will come from a point of putting it through some extended hard work.

174368 Perfit fit for my Craftsman GT5000 Deck drive belt. Looks like a good quality belt. Mowed thick high grass for 30 min. with no wear noticed. Hopefully will have a long life. Much better than some other less expensive belts I have tried.

Not sure if it is the belt of something else but it seems like it has to be replaced too often.

Broke after 2 days of use as a commercial lawnmower.

Exact match for 54 inch huskavarna mowr

Fit well. Cub cadet LTX 1050, 50” deck.

Fantastic belt. Bought for my Cub Cadet XZ50 50” zero turn lawnmower. Belt looks like very good quality and easy to fit. Delivery was really fast and upgraded to express as I’m in the uk.

Bonne description et service de livraison excellent. Qualité/ prix adéquat.
