Vee Belts for Ride-On Mowers

Vee belts (V belts) drive the blades, deck or transmission on ride on mowers and garden tractors. This range includes standard A and B section belts plus aramid fibre belts made with Kevlar cord for extra strength.

Belts are identified by a letter and number code, such as A33, A57 or B50, which refers to the belt's cross-section and length. Many are described as anti static and heat and oil resistant, suited to the conditions under a mower deck. Longer belts, like the 67" aramid fibre belt for MTD, Stiga and Toro tractors, suit wider cutting decks.

Match the belt code or length to what's currently fitted to your mower, since A and B section belts aren't interchangeable and the wrong length won't tension correctly.

Frequently asked questions

What do the A and B codes on V belts mean?

The letter indicates the belt's cross-sectional size (A section or B section) and the number indicates its length, so you need to match both to get the correct belt.

Can I fit an A section belt where a B section belt was used?

No, A and B section belts have different widths and profiles and aren't interchangeable, so you should match the section size of the belt you're replacing.

What are aramid fibre belts for?

Aramid fibre belts are made with Kevlar cord for added strength and are used as aftermarket replacements on mowers and garden tractors from brands like MTD, Stiga and Toro.
