Additional Information

The MTD tiller drive belt (part number 954-04090) transfers power from the engine pulley to the drive system, allowing the tines to turn and break up soil effectively. It replaces part number 1916657 and is compatible with select MTD tillers.

If your tiller's tines won t rotate or the machine struggles to move forward, a worn or broken drive belt may be the cause. Replacing the belt restores power to the drive system and improves tilling performance, especially in compact or heavy soil.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental engine start-up. Wear work gloves to protect your hands when working near sharp components. Always check your owner's manual to confirm the correct routing and tension for your model.
