954-04077A 50" Deck Belt for Cub Cadet LT1050 XT1 SLT1550 - Replaces 754-04077, 112-0332 - Aramid Cord, 134" Length - Compatible with MTD, Troy-Bilt, Toro, Craftsman

What It Is

This is a 134-inch Aramid cord-reinforced deck belt designed for 50-inch cutting decks on select Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Toro, and Craftsman lawn tractors. It drives the mower blades from the engine pulley.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: This belt fits only 50-inch decks. Measure your deck or confirm your model is listed (e.g., Cub Cadet LT1050, XT1, SLT1550).
• OEM cross-reference: Replaces OEM part numbers 754-04077 and 112-0332. Check your owner’s manual or current belt for one of these numbers.
• Length and width: Belt is 134 inches long, 1/2 inch wide. Measure your old belt if possible—any mismatch will cause poor engagement or slipping.
• Brand compatibility: Works on many MTD-built tractors (Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Toro) with 50-inch decks, but not universal. Always confirm your specific model year and deck type.

Key Things to Know

• Aramid cord construction is stronger than standard rubber, offering better wear resistance and less stretch over time—good for heavy use.
• Installation is moderate difficulty—you’ll need to remove the deck or at least the belt covers and tensioner. Have a diagram handy.
• Common gotcha: The belt routing is specific. Take a photo before removing the old belt, or look up the routing diagram for your model. Wrong routing causes poor blade speed or belt damage.
• Price is competitive for aramid-reinforced belts (typically $25–$35). OEM belts from Cub Cadet may cost more but offer identical fit.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid choice if you need a durable, aftermarket replacement for a 50-inch deck on a listed Cub Cadet or MTD-built tractor. The aramid cord adds longevity over standard belts, and the price is fair. However, if your mower is a different brand or deck size, or if you prefer exact OEM fit without cross-referencing, skip it and buy the factory part.
