It transfers engine power from the variable speed pulley to the transaxle pulley, helping drive the rear wheels of your Craftsman lawn tractor. A properly functioning belt ensures reliable forward and reverse movement during mowing. If your lawn tractor won?t move or struggles to maintain speed, a worn or stretched transaxle belt could be to blame.

Use a wrench and screwdriver to remove covers and access the old belt. Note the belt routing before removal. Wear work gloves to protect your hands, and double-check belt alignment and tension after installing the new belt to ensure smooth operation.
