8TEN8TEN Deck Belt for John Deere L120 L130 145 D140 LA145 LA130 D150 D160 LA165 LA155 X165 48-Inch Deck GX21833 GX20571

Belt came quick in the mail, no trouble there. I just sharpened my mower blades and serviced the entire mower deck while waiting for the belt to arrive. The old belt broke after hitting a rock with one of the blades. I never had an issue with the old belt until I went to cut high grass and hit a rock that was hidden within. I figured I would get everything ready for when the new belt arrived I could put it on and go as I have a couple of acres I keep mowed in the summer. I was happy when the belt showed up, it was reasonably priced and looked like decent quality. I installed the belt and replaced the mower onto the tractor and away I went. The first time I shut the mower off, the belt came off. Upon reinstalling the belt after only using the mower for approximately 15 minutes at the most, I noticed it was damaged. This was installed according to the manual and every pulley was verified as well as the spindles. The old belt lasted almost 2 years without any issues until that rock in the high grass. I managed to get about an hour total from this belt before it finally let go. The thing is, I ordered 2 belts at the same time and now I think it would just be a waste to install the second one as it didn't last an hour, I took the new belt out of the sleeve and compared it to the old one that I had removed before I installed the new belt. Upon close comparison, the new belt seems to be atleast an inch longer. This is listed as the same part number as the OEM John Deere belt my mower uses, but is actually longer than the original which is likely the cause of the belt coming off and getting damaged in the pulleys. I tried to save a few bucks and ended up paying more as I will need a new replacement as soon as possible. I guess I should have known better as the saying goes... you get what you pay for but in this case it wasn't worth my time and aggravation, so save your money don't expect this to work as the original one is intended.

On my second mow belt already braking apart was pumped about this belt now upset waste of money

Didn't last long. Might be my fault. Got another one and will see how long this one lasts. Hopefully it was my fault and not a defect.The company contacted me and made things right even though they couldn't verify anything Koodos to Mishon Corporation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This belt is a direct replacement for the Bradley 52" commercial stand-on hydro drive mower belt between the engine and blades. Save your money and buy this one instead of the one from Bradley that cost over twice as much.This belt has not broken on me yet, but my opinion on all those comments about belts breaking... what would you rather have broken, a cheap belt or an expensive metal part? I'd rather the belt break when you hit something than damage other expensive parts. It's meant to be the weak link to save you money and time.So far, I'm very happy with this belt.

Update: The company reached out and gave me a full refund on the belts I purchased. Great customer service.I purchased for a D-140 and it shredded in under an hour. I had a second one and thought the first was just bad quality, but it was destroyed in less time than the first. This belt is 1/2” but should be 5/8”. Go with OEM.
