2 Pack 783-06424A-0606 Deck Belt Cover (Black) W/Installation Screw Compatible with MTD Troy-Bilt Cub Cadet Lawn Mowers 42" Deck Replaces 783-06424A-060 783-06424A-4066

What It Is

This is a pair of black plastic deck belt covers (with installation screws) designed to shield the drive belt on 42-inch cutting decks of select MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Cub Cadet lawn tractors. They prevent debris from jamming the belt and protect the belt from premature wear.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 42-inch (107 cm) decks. Measure your deck width—this will not work on 46-inch or 54-inch decks.
• Brands/models: Compatible with many MTD, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Yard Machines tractors using a 42-inch stamped deck (e.g., Cub Cadet LT42, Troy-Bilt Pony 42). Cross-reference your model number with OEM parts 783-06424A-060, 783-06424A-4066, or 783-06424A-0606.
• What to check: Verify your deck has two separate belt cover mounting holes (one per side). Measure the existing cover’s length and hole spacing—these are ~10 inches long with 8-inch center-to-center screw holes.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Cub Cadet replacement, not a generic aftermarket. Expect exact fit for listed models.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Thick, UV-resistant black plastic that holds up to sunlight and impacts better than thin aftermarket covers.
• Installation: Easy—remove old cover, align new one, hand-tighten the included screws. No tools beyond a screwdriver needed.
• Gotcha: Some decks use a single cover that spans both sides; this two-pack is for separate left/right covers. If your original is one long piece, this won’t fit.
• Screws included: The pack comes with two Phillips-head screws. If your deck holes are stripped, you may need new self-tapping screws separately.

Should You Buy It

If you have a 42-inch MTD-family tractor with separate left/right belt covers and your current covers are cracked, missing, or warped, this is a direct, durable replacement at a fair price. Avoid if your deck uses a single-piece cover or if you need a universal fit.
