I have a 2006 MTD Yard Machine that I purchased from Home Depot in 2007. Model #13AN601H729 with 46" deck.
The lower drive belt needed replacement so I shopped a number of sites and part #954-0467A 5/8"x 91" was the popular choice.
I purchased the belt and installed, however the ride is terrible as it like riding a bronco bucking and surging and sometime squealing.
I have checked and double checked the diagrams to confirm that I have correctly installed.
The part number on the mower is 754-0467A that has apparently changed to 954.
I have since learned through research that depending on where you are shopping this belt it will be called out as either 5/8"x 91" or
5/8"x 90-1/2". Same part number!
Could it be that I need the belt that is 1/2" shorter? I am not ready to give up on this machine as it has been very reliable otherwise.
I also don't want to purchase another belt, go through the installation procedure once again unless I am sure I have the right belt on
my next purchase.
Can anyone advise me?
