954-05040 954-0241A Upper Drive Belt 35.25 inches fits Craftsman T110 Upper Drive Belt, 754-0241A 9540241A 95405040 fits Troy Bilt Pony 5/8 x 35.25 Belt

What It Is

This is a 35.25-inch upper drive belt (5/8-inch width) that connects the engine pulley to the transmission on select lawn tractors. It’s specifically designed for the Craftsman T110 and Troy-Bilt Pony models, handling blade engagement and drive system power transfer.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number (e.g., 917.xxxxx for Craftsman, 13AN77xG for Troy-Bilt). This belt replaces OEM part numbers 954-05040, 954-0241A, 754-0241A, and 9540241A. It fits:

• Craftsman T110 (all deck sizes: 42-inch, 46-inch)
• Troy-Bilt Pony (42-inch deck, models like 13AN77xG)
• Craftsman T120, T150, T160 (check deck size – 42-inch or 46-inch)
• Husqvarna YTH24V48, YTH22V46 (some models, verify belt routing)

Measure your old belt: it must be exactly 35.25 inches long and 5/8 inch wide. If your belt is 36 inches or 1/2 inch wide, this won’t fit. Check your mower’s manual for belt routing diagram – this belt uses a spring-loaded tensioner, not adjustable idlers.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket belt (likely Kevlar-reinforced), not OEM. Some users report shorter lifespan vs. OEM (1-2 seasons vs. 3-4). Inspect for fraying after 20 hours.
• Installation Difficulty: Moderate (30-60 min). You’ll need a wrench to loosen the tensioner pulley, and a socket set to remove the deck if needed. Watch for belt twisting – it must sit flush in all pulley grooves.
• Common Gotchas: The 35.25-inch length is critical – a 35-inch belt will be too tight and snap; a 36-inch will slip. Also, this belt is NOT for the lower deck drive (mower blade belt) – that’s a separate part (e.g., 954-05041 for Craftsman).
• Deck Removal: On some Troy-Bilt Pony models, you must remove the mower deck to access the upper belt. Budget extra time.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a quick, budget-friendly replacement for a worn upper drive belt on a Craftsman T110 or Troy-Bilt Pony, and you’re comfortable with moderate DIY installation. Skip it if you want OEM durability for heavy commercial use, or if your belt measures differently than 35.25 x 5/8 inches.
