FAQ

This belt set is designed for MTD-built snowblowers, including models sold under the MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and Craftsman brands. These belts fit compact MTD snowthrowers manufactured from 2007 and newer, as well as specific compact two-stage MTD, Craftsman, and Yard Machines units from 2004 and later. Because MTD-built machines can vary by model and serial range, the most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match your original belt numbers directly.
This set replaces and cross-references with part numbers 954-04013, 954-04014, 754-04013, and 754-04014. If your original auger drive belts match any of these numbers, this kit is the correct replacement for your machine.
Typical symptoms include the auger or impeller failing to turn when engaged, reduced snow-throwing distance, belt slippage under load in wet or heavy snow, squealing noises during engagement, or visible signs of wear such as glazing, fraying, cracking, or stretching. On snowblowers utilizing a two-belt auger drive system, it is recommended to replace both belts simultaneously if one has failed or shows significant wear.
For most compatible snowblowers, this is a moderate repair that typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the specific machine layout and the presence of rust or debris. You will need basic hand tools, such as socket wrenches, nut drivers, and screwdrivers. The process involves removing the belt cover, accessing the auger drive path, routing both belts correctly, and verifying proper tension and engagement before operation.
Yes, replacing both belts as a set is the recommended practice. Since these belts operate within the same auger drive system, they experience similar wear patterns; if one is worn, the other is likely nearing the end of its service life. Installing a matched set ensures optimal belt tension, consistent engagement, and peak snow-throwing performance.
Inspect all pulleys for rust, damage, or grooves worn into the sidewalls, and ensure the idler pulley rotates freely. Verify that the belt guides are not bent and that the auger engagement cable is adjusted to the correct tension. Clear all packed snow, ice, and debris from the belt housing. If a previous belt failed suddenly, check the auger and impeller system for jams or bearing drag to prevent premature damage to the new belts.
