954-05087A Lawn Mower 46" Deck Belt Fits for Cub Ct Troy-Bilt MTD Craftsman 754-05087 954-05087 754-05087A CMXGZAM501083 (1/2" x 108")

What It Is

This is a 46-inch deck drive belt (1/2" wide x 108" long) for riding lawn mowers. It transfers power from the engine pulley to the mower deck blades, enabling cutting. Designed for Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD, and Craftsman models with 46-inch decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

• Deck size: Must be a 46-inch cutting deck (measure deck width if unsure).
• Belt dimensions: OEM specs are 1/2" wide x 108" long. Cross-check your old belt length (measure end-to-end, not looped).
• Model numbers: Compatible with OEM part numbers 754-05087, 954-05087, 754-05087A, and CMXGZAM501083. This is an aftermarket replacement, not OEM Troy-Bilt. Works on most MTD-built tractors with 46" decks (Cub Cadet LTX1046, Troy-Bilt Pony, Craftsman T110, etc.). Verify your specific model in the manufacturer’s deck belt diagram.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket belt, but reviews show solid performance for the price. Expect normal wear—not as durable as OEM, but fine for residential use.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to loosen deck, route belt around pulleys (refer to deck diagram), and re-tension. Budget 30–60 minutes.
• Common gotcha: Confirm belt routing—wrong path causes slipping or deck damage. Take a photo of the old belt before removing.
• Durability: Not designed for heavy commercial use; replace if you see fraying or cracking.

Should You Buy It

Buy if you need a budget-friendly, reliable replacement for a 46-inch deck belt on a residential Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, MTD, or Craftsman rider. It’s a solid value for occasional mowing, but skip it if you mow commercially or need OEM longevity—spend more on genuine MTD or Gates belt.
