Drive Belt Fit for Husqvarna 583332201 411245 Craftsman 97 76 Tractor D6800 Riding Mower, V-Belt 1/2" x 97-9/16"

What It Is

This is a replacement drive belt for select Husqvarna, Craftsman, and other riding mowers and tractors. It transfers power from the engine pulley to the transmission, enabling forward and reverse movement—not the mower deck blades. It measures 1/2 inch wide by 97-9/16 inches long, matching OEM part numbers 583332201, 411245, and others.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

• Length and width: Must be exactly 1/2" x 97-9/16". A belt that’s too long or short will slip or won’t fit pulleys.
• OEM part numbers: This belt replaces Husqvarna 583332201, 411245, and Craftsman 411245. If your mower uses a different OEM number, cross-reference carefully.
• Model and deck size: Fits several Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Poulan Pro models from the 1990s–2010s, often with 42–54" decks. Examples: Craftsman D6800 (42" deck), Husqvarna GTH2248, Poulan Pro PPB460T. Check your owner’s manual or existing belt for the part number.

Not a deck belt—buy a separate belt for blade drive.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket belt, typically reinforced rubber. Matches OEM specs but may vary slightly in flexibility. Most users report a good fit.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires routing around multiple pulleys and a tensioner. Have a diagram handy (snap photo before removing old belt). You may need a wrench to release tension.
• Common gotcha: If your mower has a spring-loaded idler pulley, it can be tricky to get the belt seated. Use a socket or breaker bar to pivot the tensioner arm.
• Check pulleys: Worn or bent pulleys will cause a new belt to fail quickly. Inspect and replace if needed.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if you need a drive belt for a Husqvarna, Craftsman, or similar mower that uses the 1/2" x 97-9/16" size and you want a reliable aftermarket option at a fair price. It’s a direct fit for common models like the Craftsman D6800 and Husqvarna GTH series. If you prefer OEM or need a deck belt, look elsewhere.
