Special Case
April 03, 2019|Angry C, Houma, LA

This belt should be replaced only by a Sears Repair Center according to the Owner's Manual. Had I been informed of this previously, I would not have purchased the machine. Craftsman products have always seemed to me to be products repairable by their owner.

Ease of InstallationVery Difficult
Duration of InstallationMore than 2 hours
