Product Description

The ARNOLD 490-501-Y044 is a deck drive belt designed as a direct replacement for 42-inch deck 700 Series Troy-Bilt lawn tractors. It runs from the deck pulley to the lower engine pulley, transferring power from the engine to the cutting deck. This belt is the correct replacement for Troy-Bilt 700 Series tractors built in 2005 and after. Installation is handled by small engine technicians or experienced outdoor power equipment mechanics. At 0.794 pounds, it is a lightweight but essential drivetrain component that keeps the mowing deck operating at the correct speed and tension.

This deck drive belt fits 42-inch deep decks on Troy-Bilt 700 Series lawn tractors manufactured in 2005 and after. It is intended for residential lawn tractor applications where the original deck belt has stretched, cracked, or broken. The belt connects the deck pulley to the lower engine pulley and must be routed correctly around all idler and deck pulleys during installation to ensure proper mower deck engagement.
