8TEN Drive Belt for Cub Cadet MTD Troy Bilt XT1-LT46 XT2-LX46 Super Bronco 46 XP CYT4622SE 954-05087A 754-05087 46 Inch

What It Is

This is a replacement drive belt for 46-inch cutting deck lawn tractors from Cub Cadet, MTD, and Troy-Bilt. It transfers power from the engine pulley to the deck spindles, enabling blade rotation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Deck size: Must be exactly 46 inches. This belt does not fit 42-inch or 54-inch decks.
• Model series: Fits XT1-LT46, XT2-LX46, Super Bronco 46 XP, and CYT4622SE. Also fits Cub Cadet LT46, LXT46, and Troy-Bilt 46XP.
• OEM part numbers: Cross-references to Cub Cadet 954-05087A, MTD 754-05087, and 954-05087.
• Measure belt length: This belt is 85.5 inches long, 1/2 inch wide. Measure your old belt (lay it flat) to verify match—aftermarket belts can vary slightly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: 8TEN is a budget aftermarket brand. Expect functional but not premium durability—may wear faster than OEM belts under heavy use.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the deck, route around pulleys, and re-tension. A diagram or video for your specific model is helpful.
• Common gotcha: The belt may feel tight or loose if your deck’s idler pulley is worn. Check pulley condition before installing.
• Warranty: Typically 30-day return window, not a long-term guarantee.

Should You Buy It

This belt is a good, low-cost option if you need a quick replacement for a standard 46-inch deck and don’t mind slightly shorter service life. It’s best for occasional mowing or light-duty use. For heavy or commercial mowing, consider an OEM belt for better longevity.
