Additional Information

The Craftsman lawn tractor blade drive belt, part number 954-04033A, connects the engine pulley to the mower deck pulleys to spin the cutting blades. It replaces part number 954-04033 and fits select Craftsman lawn tractors that require a belt with a 120-9/16-inch length and 1/2-inch height.

If your blades won t spin, cut unevenly, or you hear squealing from the deck, the blade drive belt may be stretched or worn. Replacing the belt can restore proper blade operation and improve cut quality. Make sure the engine is off and the spark plug wire is disconnected before beginning the repair. Wear work gloves to protect your hands and follow your mower s belt routing diagram to install the new belt correctly.

Check the belt regularly for cracks or fraying and replace it as needed to keep your mower running at peak performance. This part qualifies for our subscription service, so you can set a schedule for automatic replacement and avoid unexpected downtime.

It was easy to install. Cuts way better.
November 03, 2018|sharkey, Saginaw, Michigan

You need 2 - 9/16 wrenches to loosen up the belt guards. Take note how the old one came off if it is not broke. Make sure you clean all grass clippings off the top of the deck before reassembly. Pretty easy job. 15 to 20 min. max.
