FAQ

This belt is used on select Toro Recycler 22-inch self-propelled lawn mowers. Compatible models include 20330, 20331, 20339, 20350, 20351, 20370, 20371, 20377, 20378, 20379, 20954, 21378, 21442, 20330C, 20331C, 20339C, 20959, and 21445. Because Toro used similar 22-inch platforms across multiple years, it is best to confirm by matching both your mower model number and belt part number before ordering.
The primary part number is 117-1018, which is also commonly formatted as 1171018. Always match the number from your original belt, parts lookup, or mower model diagram to confirm fit.
Typical symptoms include the self-propelled drive no longer pulling the mower forward, weak or inconsistent traction, slipping under load, delayed drive engagement, or a belt that looks glazed, cracked, frayed, stretched, or contaminated with oil or debris. On these Toro Recycler models, a worn belt often shows up as reduced wheel-drive performance even though the engine and blade still operate normally.
This part is the drive or transmission V-belt for Toro Recycler mowers, meaning it is associated with the self-propel traction system rather than the cutting blade. The 117-1018 is specifically designed as a transmission drive belt used for Recycler mower drive engagement.
For many Toro 22-inch Recycler self-propelled mowers, this is a moderate repair. Typical tools required include a socket set or nut driver, screwdrivers, pliers, and work gloves. Expect the process to take roughly 20 to 45 minutes if the mower is in good condition and the fasteners are accessible. Before starting, disconnect the spark plug wire, tip the mower only as recommended in the owner's manual, and note the original belt routing before removal.
The most common causes are normal wear, heat, repeated engagement under heavy load, debris buildup around the drive system, pulley misalignment, and age-related stretching or hardening of the rubber. If a new belt wears out quickly or continues to slip, inspect the pulleys, belt guides, transmission input pulley, cable adjustment, and wheel-drive system for drag or misalignment.
Inspect the old belt path for packed grass, damaged pulleys, bent belt keepers, worn idlers, and oil contamination. Also, verify that the self-propel cable is adjusted correctly and that the transmission and wheels turn freely. If the old belt failed by shredding rather than simple stretching, this often indicates a pulley or guide issue that should be corrected before installing the replacement belt.
