D&D PowerDrive ORB-H-1118 Craftsman Poulan Noma 429636, 197253 Kevlar Replacement Belt, 1/2 x 101, 4LK Section, Rubber

I just replaced the original belt on my 2013 Craftsman mower with this one. The original was probably due last season, but when it started slipping off a few days ago, I ordered this one. Im not expecting to get more than 2 seasons out of this for the price, but for a savings over the OEM version of $75, Ill be happy with 2 seasons of use.

Easy to install. Works on Craftsman 917.289101. This drives the mower blades, not the belt you need to propel the mower forward and backward.

Replaced a 5 year old factory belt and this greatly improved performance.

AWESOME PRODUCT

Belt was easy to install, fortunately because I have to do it again with another belt! On the 3rd usage the belt came apart. Looks like the fabric cover started to strip away and get caught in the spindles. This caused the belt to snap. So it lasted maybe 3 hours in total. See photo.

Works perfectly.

Might have just been the shortest lifespan I have ever seen on a new Drive belt. 15 Minutes and this.

belt is fine. as advertised. A sticker for belt routing is located around the foot panel under a lot of mowers.

I have wrist & hand pain anx still can’t squeeze the ends together to open jats & bottles. Not for older user

Fit perfect on my Craftsman riding mower and the price was right.
