8TEN Deck Belt for Husqvarna AYP Dixon Poulan RZ4623 LSZ 5424 RZ 5422 46 Speed ZTR Z 246 5424 5422

What It Is

This is an aftermarket replacement deck belt designed for 46-inch cutting decks on select Husqvarna, AYP, Dixon, and Poulan Pro zero-turn mowers. It drives the mower blades from the engine pulley, enabling grass cutting in models like the RZ4623, LSZ 5424, and Z 246.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Deck size: This belt fits 46-inch decks only. Measure your deck width or check your model number (e.g., RZ4623 = 46-inch deck).
• Model list: Works with Husqvarna RZ4623, LSZ 5424, RZ 5422, Z 246, 5424, 5422; AYP/Craftsman 46-inch ZTR; Dixon ZTR 5424; Poulan Pro 46-inch ZTR. Not for 42-inch or 54-inch decks.
• OEM cross-references: Replaces OEM belts 532 42-46-96, 532 42-41-44, 532 42-41-45, and 532 42-41-46. Measure your old belt length (should be ~96.5 inches) and width (1/2 inch) to verify.
• Aftermarket note: This is an 8TEN belt, not OEM Husqvarna. Quality is generally good, but aftermarket belts may wear slightly faster than OEM.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 4.4/5 stars from 336 reviews—users report solid performance for the price. Occasional complaints about premature wear if deck spindles are seized or pulley alignment is off.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the deck or access the belt path under the mower. Refer to your mower’s manual for belt routing diagram—routing is critical for proper blade engagement.
• Common gotcha: Check your deck spindles and pulleys for wobble or rust before installing a new belt. A worn spindle will shred a new belt quickly.
• No warranty: 8TEN belts typically come without a manufacturer warranty, so inspect immediately for defects.

Should You Buy It

If you have a 46-inch Husqvarna, AYP, or Dixon zero-turn mower and want a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for a worn OEM belt, this is a solid choice. It’s not for heavy commercial use or if you prefer OEM-only parts, but for most homeowners and light-duty mowing, it delivers good value at $19.95.
