Deck Belt Fit for MTD Cub Cadet XT1 XT2 Craftsman TB2246 Enduro LT46 Troy-Bilt Series 46" Lawn Mower, Drive Belt 1/2" x 108" Replace 954-05022A 754-05022 954-05022

What It Is

This drive belt (1/2" x 108") connects the engine pulley to the mower deck on 46-inch cutting deck models from MTD, Cub Cadet XT1/XT2, Craftsman TB2246 Enduro, and Troy-Bilt. It powers the blades and is a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 954-05022A, 754-05022, and 954-05022.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify three things:

1. Deck size – Must be 46 inches (not 42" or 50"). Measure if unsure.
2. Belt dimensions – 1/2" width x 108" length. Any variance will cause slipping or binding.
3. Model numbers – Confirmed for Cub Cadet XT1/XT2, Craftsman TB2246 Enduro, Troy-Bilt Super Bronco 46 (and similar Enduro-series). Check your owner’s manual or existing belt part number (954-05022A, 754-05022, 954-05022). This is an aftermarket replacement, not OEM, but matches OEM specs.

Key Things to Know

• Quality – Kevlar-reinforced construction is standard; this belt should handle normal residential use. Not for commercial mowing.
• Installation difficulty – Moderate. You’ll need to remove the deck and route the belt around pulleys and idlers. Watch a model-specific video for tensioner routing.
• Common gotcha – The belt may feel tight initially. Do not force it; double-check the belt path. A wrong route can cause premature wear or deck damage.
• Durability – Expect 1-2 seasons of typical use. Check for fraying or glazing annually.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly, direct-fit replacement for a 46-inch MTD/Cub Cadet/Craftsman deck and you’re comfortable with moderate DIY deck removal, this belt is a reliable choice. For heavy commercial use, consider OEM for longer life.
