Jason Industrial MXV4-480 Kevlar V-belt 0.5x48 in

Product Description

The JASON INDUSTRIAL MXV4-480 is a Kevlar-reinforced V-belt designed for demanding drive applications in farm, lawn, and garden equipment. Measuring 0.5 inches in top width and 48 inches in length, this belt delivers the high tensile strength and heat resistance that Kevlar construction provides over standard rubber-cord belts. The MXV4 cross-section designation identifies it within a family of fractional-horsepower and light-duty industrial drive profiles. It is installed by equipment technicians and service professionals maintaining outdoor power equipment, small tractors, and related machinery.

This belt is suited for residential and light commercial agricultural applications where belt slippage, stretch, and premature wear are common failure points. Typical installations include mower deck drives, tiller drives, auger drives, and similar power transmission systems found in farm and lawn equipment. The Kevlar cord construction resists elongation under load, reducing the frequency of retensioning during normal service intervals.

Key Features

• Kevlar-reinforced construction provides high tensile strength and reduced stretch compared to standard polyester-cord belts
• 0.5-inch top width with 48-inch outer length suits common fractional-horsepower drive systems
• MXV4 cross-section profile designed for cogged or wrapped V-belt drive configurations in outdoor power equipment
• Heat and flex resistance supports continuous-duty cycles typical in lawn and garden applications
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 units, suitable for shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement V-belt for farm, lawn, and garden equipment utilizing a 0.5-inch wide V-belt drive. Specific OEM compatibility should be confirmed against the equipment manufacturer's belt specification prior to installation.

Installation Notes

V-belt replacement on outdoor power equipment should be performed by a qualified service technician following the equipment manufacturer's service procedures. Disengage all power, remove ignition keys, and ensure all rotating components have come to a complete stop before accessing the drive system. Proper belt tension should be set per the OEM specification for the specific drive; overtensioning accelerates bearing wear, while undertensioning causes slippage and heat buildup. Inspect sheaves and pulleys for wear or misalignment before installing the new belt.
