119-8820 Belt for Toro Timecutter SS5000 SS5060 MX5060 Lawn Mower

What It Is

The Toro 119-8820 belt is a replacement drive belt for select Toro Timecutter zero-turn mowers, specifically the SS5000, SS5060, and MX5060 models. It connects the engine pulley to the deck pulleys to spin the blades.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number (found on a sticker under the seat or on the frame). This belt fits:

• Toro Timecutter SS5000 (42-inch or 50-inch deck)
• Toro Timecutter SS5060 (50-inch deck)
• Toro Timecutter MX5060 (50-inch deck)

It is an OEM Toro part—not an aftermarket generic. The belt measures approximately 119 inches in length and 1/2 inch in width. If your mower uses a different deck size (e.g., 42-inch vs. 50-inch), the belt length will differ, so double-check your deck size. For other Timecutter models (e.g., SS3225, MX4200), this belt is not compatible.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM Toro belts are made to exact factory specs; aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper but can wear faster or slip.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the deck or at least the belt covers, route the belt around pulleys, and tension it correctly. A diagram is usually printed on the deck.
• Common gotcha: If the old belt broke, inspect all pulleys and the idler arm for cracks or seized bearings before installing the new one—otherwise, the new belt may fail quickly.
• When to replace: Replace if you see cracking, fraying, glazing (shiny surface), or if the blades stop engaging or the belt slips under load.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Toro Timecutter SS5000, SS5060, or MX5060 with a 50-inch deck and need a direct, reliable replacement, this belt is the right choice. It’s priced fairly for an OEM part and has strong user reviews for durability. For other models or budget builds, look for a verified cross-reference.
