8TEN Drive Belt for Ariens Gravely Deck

This belt is designed as a direct replacement for OEM part number 07240400. To ensure compatibility, verify that your specific mower model requires this part number, as fitment depends on the exact deck configuration rather than just the brand name.

No, this belt is specifically engineered for 60-inch mower decks. Using it on a different deck size will result in improper tension, leading to belt slippage or potential damage to your mower's drive system.

This belt features polyester cord reinforcement embedded within the rubber construction. This design provides the necessary tensile strength to handle the high torque demands of a 60-inch zero-turn deck without stretching prematurely.

You should inspect your belt for signs of fraying, cracking, or glazing on the sidewalls. If you notice the mower losing power during heavy cutting or if the belt has stretched to the point where the tensioner can no longer take up the slack, it is time for a replacement.

Yes, this is a V-belt, which means it relies on the friction between the angled sides of the belt and the pulley grooves to transfer power. When installing, ensure the belt is seated properly in the pulley grooves to prevent premature wear and ensure efficient power transmission.
