Best belt for the money
June 04, 2018

The DGT 6000 is probably one of the best tractor mowers Craftsman ever built. The ground drive belt is not easy to put on and will normally take about 30 minutes.

Install of Garden TRACTOR DRIVE BELT
April 02, 2018

THE PRODUCT WAS FINE. MY INSTRUCTIONS IN MY MANUAL DIDN'T TELL ME EVERYTHING. THE NEW BELT WENT OVER THE ENGINE PULLEY FIRST. I WAS TO NEXT PUT THE PULLEY OVER THE TRANSAXLE PULLEY. I COULD NOT PUT THE PULLEY ON BECAUSE I COULDN'T SQUEEZE THE BELT BETWEEN THE PULLEY AND THE PIN BELT KEEPER. THEIR JUST WASN'T ENOUGHT SPACE BETWEEN THIS PRESSED ON PIN TO KEEP BELT IN PLACE AND THE PULLEY. I AM STUCK.
