Reviews imply these belts are not the correct ones, part numbers are correct, good quality, but are heavier and impead braking, is this correct

The reviews are correct, at least for my 2003 Troy Bilt LTX2146. I have had them for a couple weeks but just installed them today. The PTO (long one) is the problem. It is the correct length but it is too fat. It rubs against the belt stays and does not work correctly with the variable speed pulley. You can release the pedal and the mower keeps going. The brake won't stop it. I had to pop it in neutral to get it to stop. This is BAD and dangerous. The seller should be held accountable for this mistake.

yes, the long one was a have inch shorter. the mower wanted to move forward without petal being depressed

All I can say is I installed both belts, and they are working fine. Love the price.

The belts work great on my 2002 Troy Bilt, model 185000, 14ab809h063. Have not had any problems. Completly satisfied.

These belts did not work properly when installed on my Troybilt LTX 1842 riding mower. They are correct length but the "V" shape is to narrow to properly disengage the variable drive pulley on these lawn tractors when you take your foot off the drive pedal. This creates a dangerous situation as you cannot stop the tractor once the transmission is engaged. The only way to stop is to kill the ignition key. What I ended up doing is taking these belts off (they were chewed up) after only a few attempts to mow my yard. I had thought they just needed breaking in or stretched but that was not the case. I went to a local hardware store and paid a few more dollars for the OEM MTD belts. I immediately saw the visual difference in these belts. The MTD belts have a flatter V shape in their belt which

The belt is wider and thicker than the OEM belts on the Troy-Bilt rider, so they did not fit properly. This does not allow the front pulley to disengage.

yes the belts seem to be thicker than the original belts and i am having some operational problems because of the thickness change... belts are good quality though but dont think they will last long since they rub on components with the smaller clearance

There do not fit right and the large one is junk after about month of cutting and the small one cannot be used.

So sorry yours appears that way. Mine looked like my original. It was definitely lighter weight though. It's a replacement part & not the original.

I think you are referring to another brand's sales scheme. I base my buying decision on reviewers that have installed and road tested them. I have not yet. Check the reviews. These seemed like the best deal for a quality set of brakes

I don't think the make of the vehicle matters for this buckle. I purchased it for a client who drives a older model Nissan Altima. I've also seen other clients use the same buckle in Dodge Vans, Ford wangons, and Nissan Rogues.

I USED BROKEN BELT, SEVERAL SITES THAT SELL BELTS AND ASKED A LOCAL GUY THAT DOES REPAIRS. Note got it wrong first time then went with ALL above. Also used the model nr off mower. This whole belt thing can get very confusing if you do not at least, double check and use all sources to get them all to agree.

Yes, this is the correct part. As mentioned previously by others, be sure to purchase two replacement nuts as the ones on your existing drag link will not fit. I bought mine at Lowes for $1.64 each. Size is M10-1.25.

The "two pack" contains 1each. Of (2) different buckle tang widths. Measure the belt currently in your car to see if either of these is a match. I believe they also provide a list if you do a bit of searching. If your are one of the two standard, one of these buckle extenders will fit, the other will not. Best to measure the one in your car first, and purchase 2 alike. Not this 2-pack.

I have a 4000 and it works fine. I must say the replacement belt didn't last long; just a few cuts.

I agree with Markmurto. Not the same. You need make, model, serial # and look at manufactures site for parts brake down. This should give you the OEM part #.

Hey David,Honestly I don't know but try seeing if there's a cross referencing match between this & what Amazon or other web searches specify for your make & model. ie look for part numbers for this one & compare it to whatever sites like Amazon or AutoZone.com provide when you search for an AC Compressor. If the model numbers are the same, then you're good to go. Otherwise, it might not bolt up right, the belt setup might be different, etc. I had a local mechanic do all the ac crap a few years ago after not having AC in my GTP for 5+ years. Glad I did it, regardless of the $700-$900 total for all the parts I rounded up, a new condenser also, freon, labor, etc.-Yaz Hey David,Honestly I don't know but try seeing if there's a cross referencing match between this & what Amazon or other web searches specify for your make & model. ie look for part numbers for this one & compare it to whatever sites like Amazon or AutoZone.com provide when you search for an AC Compressor.

Not sure, but the dimensions of the belt are 96.5 long, 1/2 wide. Admittedly mfgs are skimpy at these measurements but see if you can find specs for yours at OEM or such sites, hope this helps.

They are of the same quality, very heavy and well made. Don't know if they are exact.

Go to the gates site and cross reference your stock belt...but I think it is the same belt.

Looks like a typo. I would check Grizzly's catalog. Segmented belts are great to reduce vibration. Patience is required to get belt to correct length. Great price on item.

This is what he said, "I really don't know, I just bought the belt that corresponded with the model number, it worked great." Don't know that this is helpful, but I hope it is... Good luck!

V belt but the pulley came in and was the wrong size and did not fit properly. I would suggest going to your local lawn mower shop v. Ordering this item.
