great itam

Specific to Troy Bilt TB240:Going to give some background in case it is useful for anyone that might think it isn't the belt and might be the transmission under the wheel assembly. I'd suggest you just assume it is the belt until proven otherwise. TL;DR; at the end. The assembly that held the mower blade in place began to give and I guess this had the secondary affect of straining the original belt. I didn't know this was the problem at the time though. I have super thick St. Augustine so it was hard to tell there was a problem at first with the blade assembly because it had always struggled during the summer. It started to get really shaky and then eventually the entire assembly underneath fell apart(made me jump a bit). Ultimately I had to order the main blade mounting screw, some mounting cylinder and the plate that holds it all together. I could have salvaged some of the original parts but being as this is keeping a 21" steel blade from taking out my foot, I decided to replace ALL damaged parts.I ended up putting it all back together with the new parts but the belt kept falling off. At first I thought it was a problem with the transmission assembly for some reason- mostly because the belt looked in good condition, no damage. In hindsight, this was a pretty illogical conclusion. I started looking into purchasing a new transmission assembly for the wheel drive but when I saw it was $120 to replace, I decided to try replacing the belt as a 'just in case' precaution since they are so inexpensive.The belt was the issue and worked on the first try. It took some work to get the belt to fit in to the protective cover but once I got it in, had no issues. Mowed my backyard immediately after and it didn't so much as slip once.TL;DR; If you are having power transmissions issues and everything else is working, it is probably the belt.

Was not the right length and didn't fit. Easy refund process though, so instead of 1 star, I increased it to 2.

I have a 11 year old Troy built self propelled mower. I use this mower as my trim mower and my John Deere riding mower as the work horse. In September of 2022, after 10 years of use, the belt which propels the wheels became stretched out and was not making good contact, so I decided to replace it with this belt. As I said before I do not use this as my primary working mower, so when I went to use it today, 7/3/2023, I was surprised the self-propel feature was not working. I took apart the mower only to find the belt had stretched out and de-laminated. 10 years on the original belt and less than a year on this china crap.

Better fit then OEM. MTD recommended belt is 1/2 inch too long in circumference. Take time to measure that belt that keeps slipping. I purchased this one based on length. Last 3 belts from Amazon, TroyBilt, & MTD, said to fit TroyBilt TB-240 Drive Belt Item#: 954-04260 did not fit, repeat, DID NOT FIT.

I placed the belt on my mower and it works perfectly

My Troybilt TB230 belt kept slipping.After examining the belt, it was determined that it was spent. Got this belt and it fixed the problem for about 3 mows. So far so good

the other belt i got said it fit from same company but it was tooo short and it burnt up in 4 minutes
