Customer Reviews for John Deere 42 in. Deck Drive Belt for Select John Deere Mowers

Item did not fit,plan to return it back to store.

No slipping off this far! I was told by some "you don't have to buy that brand because you can get the same belt for much cheaper." NOPE! I prefer top the manufactured part on the manufactured equipment. Pay the extra, do it right!

Less then 30 mins of run tine and snaps. No burns , no cuts just poof

As usual, the genuine belt is a little more expensive but it does the job, the only reason for the '4-star' rating (well, after thinking about what a pain changing a belt on any mower can be, I decided the durability of this belt, despite the extra cost, was worth '5 stars'!.) I find they last a long time, longer than other belts used on my other brand lawn mowers so can't say it's just the belt or is it 'John Deere' technology in how the belt is arranged on this mower. I will say the JD mower has been worth the extra money! This is the first belt replacement on this mower since purchasing it used ten years ago, I don't know how many hours it has in total but I'm impressed it's been this long compared to other mowers I've had! When you're changing the belt that's not all you're doing. Be sure to check the 'blade brakes' and when reinstalling any removed nuts I recommend putting 'white lube' on the threads to make removing them next time MUCH easier. As you can see, there was lots of corrosion on the mower deck on this used JD I bought a few years ago, but the parts are still solid. Find the diagram in your manual or check online if you don't have one (as I didn't purchasing a used one) so that you know how to put it back together, especially if you're replacing a belt that fell apart and you have no clue where it goes! Finally, there are TWO belts on this mower, one for driving the blades, one for the transfer of power to the transmission- be sure you get the right one!

Easy to install. High quality belt.

Took longer to install the belt than it did to buy it.

They had one left and it was in the wrong ben the bens were a mess

Belt broke 5 mins after putting it on. I want a refund

Used belt twice for 15 minutes and discovered belt is halfway cracked. I hope I can return it.

Incesent email requests by home depot to review items without compensation .

Arrived on time and as advertised.

Keep the sleeve and your receipt! John Deere has sent out a defective batch of GX20072 drive belts. We own two John Deere 42" mowers, so when it came time to replace the drive belt on our 2013 D130 42" mower, I plopped down $59 at HD, expecting a belt that would last 7 years, not 7 days! Technically, it was 10 calendar days and two seventy mile+ round trips. But, 7 days of use, then the new JD belt snapped! Snapped! Luckily, I had the original sleeve and receipt. Returned it. Junk.

Shouldn't have to buy one to replace the one on a tractor only 2 months old.

The price was to high and the belt didn’t last long

It was too big. Needed one three and a half inches smaller

Very cheap. Hardly stays tight around pulley. Will never purchase same product from Home Depot again. The price of the this product does not match the product.
