954-05022A 46-inch Deck Belt for Cub Cade-t Troy-Bil XT1 LT46 XT2 LT46 KH LX46 LX46 KW ZT1 ZT2 Enduro Series Craftsman T2800 T3100, T8200 T225 T240 754-05022A Riding Mower, 1/2" x 108-1/2"

What It Is

This is a 46-inch deck drive belt (1/2" wide x 108-1/2" long) for select Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman riding mowers. It transfers power from the engine pulley to the mower deck blades, and is commonly used on XT1, XT2, Enduro Series, and several Craftsman T-series models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size is exactly 46 inches and that your existing belt measures 1/2" wide x 108-1/2" long. This belt fits:

• Cub Cadet: XT1 LT46, XT2 LT46, KH LX46, LX46 KW, ZT1, ZT2, Enduro Series
• Troy-Bilt: models using 46-inch decks (check your manual)
• Craftsman: T2800, T3100, T8200, T225, T240 (and some T-series with 46-inch decks)

Cross-references OEM part numbers 954-05022A and 754-05022A. This is an aftermarket belt, not genuine OEM, so confirm your model number on the mower’s frame tag or in the owner’s manual. Do not rely solely on brand name—measure your old belt or check the part number stamped on it.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is decent for the price – Users report it works well for normal residential mowing, but may wear faster than OEM belts in heavy or wet grass.
• Installation is moderately easy – You’ll need to remove the deck or at least the belt cover/guides. Route it exactly as the old belt was (take a photo first). Tension is automatic on most models.
• Common gotcha: Some Craftsman T-series models use a slightly different belt length (e.g., 109.5"). Double-check your specific model’s requirement—108.5" is correct for most listed, but not all.
• Check for pulley damage – A worn or bent pulley will shred any belt quickly. Inspect pulleys and spindles before installing.

Should You Buy It

Buy this belt if you have a compatible 46-inch deck mower listed above and want a budget-friendly replacement for normal residential use. It’s a solid value at $15.99, but if you mow tough terrain or want maximum longevity, consider an OEM belt. Always verify your mower’s exact model and belt length before ordering.
