Default Belts--where do you buy them?

I needed a deck belt for my 54" deck on my 1864. Of course it broke on a weekend so very few places were open. My son visited our local TSC and they had a Cub belt and wanted $80 for it but they had no after market belts. It is 122" long so that might explain the lack of choices. I checked with a power equipment dealer close to where I work and they didn't have any but listed it for $38. I checked with NAPA and only two stores had them and they were miles away. I needed a belt. I stopped at a Cub dealer on my way back to work and they had one in stock for $50 so I bought it. Belts are getting really costly and when you have to replace the deck belt and the PTO belt for more than one tractor things can start getting a lot costly. Just wondering where you guys get your belts.

I have found the most cost effective place to get belts for CC's is from a CC dealer. They fit, they last and yeah, they cost a little.

I just bought a belt today for a 48" mower (similar to your 54") for $32 from the dealer.

I usually run napa belts. They usually carry what I need.

I just replaced my 48 GT deck belt yesterday. It broke Saturday on the home stretch. I put a TSC blue Kevlar on. I can't remember if that's what I put on when I bought the tractor last summer? Any way it lasted about 70 hours of severe mowing. The one I just got at TSC was $23. It was a 1/2 x 107. If it lasts another 70 hours of the hell I put it through I will be happy.

I've started using this place for some of my larger more expensive belts.

I bought a deck belt for my 2072 from Cadet that lasted about a year. I had to replace it due to a deep break in it. That belt should have lasted several years considering the number of hours we put on that machine.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
