754-0467 954-0467 Drive Belt 5/8 x 91 Compatible with Craftsman LT2000, T1100, T1500, T3000, T130, T140 Lawn Riding Mower

What It Is

This is a replacement drive belt (5/8 inch wide by 91 inches long) for select Craftsman lawn riding mowers. It transfers power from the engine to the transmission, enabling forward/reverse movement—not for the mower deck.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your model number – Fits Craftsman LT2000, T1100, T1500, T3000, T130, and T140 series. Verify your specific model number (e.g., 917.xxxxx) on the frame or under the seat.
• Measure your old belt – If replacing, confirm length (91 inches) and width (5/8 inch). A 1/2-inch difference in length can cause slipping or poor engagement.
• OEM vs aftermarket – This is an OEM-style replacement (not genuine Craftsman). It should match original specs, but aftermarket belts may vary slightly in material or tension.
• Deck size irrelevant – This belt drives the wheels, not the blades. Deck size (42, 46, 50 inches) doesn’t affect fit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the mower deck and possibly the belt guard. A diagram or video helps.
• Common gotcha: The belt routing is critical. Misrouting causes premature wear or no drive. Note belt path before removal.
• Quality concerns: Mixed reviews—some report short lifespan (1-2 seasons) vs OEM. Inspect for fraying or cracking after heavy use.
• Tension check: After install, ensure the belt is snug but not stretched. A loose belt slips; too tight strains pulleys.

Should You Buy It

This belt is a solid budget option for DIY replacement on common Craftsman riders. It’s fine for light to moderate use, but if you mow several acres weekly or want maximum durability, consider spending more on a genuine Craftsman belt. Always double-check your model number and measure the old belt before ordering.
