This is a set of two red deck belt covers designed to protect the drive belt on 46-inch cutting decks used with select MTD/Cub Cadet lawn tractors (XT1, XT2, LX46, LT46, LE series). They shield the belt from debris, mud, and accidental contact during mowing.
Fitment & Compatibility
Before buying, confirm your mower has a 46-inch deck and is from the MTD/Cub Cadet family. Direct fit for models like XT1 (13AP79XT099), XT2 (13AL78XT099), LX46, LT46, LE, and older units such as 247203790, 247203791. Also fits Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and Yard Machines with a 46-inch deck using the same OEM part number 783-08547-0637. Check deck model number (stamped on deck or under seat) to avoid mismatch—these won’t fit 42-inch or 50-inch decks. Measure your existing cover: approx. 10.5” x 4.5” each.
Key Things to Know
- Quality: Durable red plastic, matches OEM specs. Holds up to UV and impacts, but can crack if over-tightened.
- Installation: Simple—remove old cover, align new one over belt, and secure with existing bolts/screws (usually 1/4” hex). No special tools needed.
- Gotcha: Check that the belt is properly routed before installing the cover; a misaligned belt can rub the cover and cause noise or wear.
- Pack includes two covers (left and right side), so verify you need both—some decks only use one.
Should You Buy It
If your original deck belt cover is cracked, missing, or broken, this $24.99 set is a direct, affordable replacement for most 46-inch MTD/Cub Cadet tractors. It’s a simple fix that protects your belt from grass clippings and debris, extending belt life. Not needed if your cover is intact.
