You can get my with aftermarket on snow blowers and some really old mowers typically older than 1997 and sometimes on Fwd craftsman BUT I will NEVER install a non MTD rider belt on an MTD mower on the double belt drive (double sheave pulley) system OR the deck blade belt.
I have personally seen too many non OEM belts that did not work properly.
It is NOT worth the few dollars your wil save on the non OEM belts.

Not saying Stens and Gates don't make sense good belts but they just don't fit as well or last as long.
Many of the other brands aren't even good belts.
No thank you and no way.
I don't want to be a brand name belt snob but once I get burned, I won't risk the work again.
