(3/8" X 35.75") 954-04032B Edger Drive Belt for Troy Bilt MTD Cub Cadet 754-04032 754-0465 954-0465 25A-550A700 25A-550A765 25B-520C000

What It Is

This is a 3/8" wide by 35.75" long edger drive belt, designed to transfer power from the engine pulley to the edger blade on Troy-Bilt, MTD, and Cub Cadet walk-behind edgers. It replaces OEM part numbers 954-04032B, 754-04032, 754-0465, and 954-0465.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your edger model number – this belt fits specific Troy-Bilt and MTD edgers like the 25A-550A700, 25A-550A765, and 25B-520C000. It also works on Cub Cadet models using the same OEM numbers.

Check three things:

1. Length: Must be exactly 35.75 inches (outer circumference). A 36” belt will be too loose; a 35.5” may be too tight.
2. Width: 3/8 inch – common for residential edgers. Do not use a 1/2” belt.
3. Cross-reference: Confirm your old belt’s part number matches one listed (954-04032B, 754-04032, etc.). If it’s a different number, measure yours first.

This belt is not for zero-turn mowers, riding tractors, or standard lawn mower decks – only for edgers.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket replacement, not OEM. Most users report good lifespan (1-2 seasons) for residential use, but may wear faster on heavy-duty commercial jobs.
• Installation difficulty: Easy – typically requires removing a belt cover, loosening a tensioner pulley, and slipping the belt on. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The belt can be tight to install when new. Loosen the tensioner fully, and consider using a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it over the pulley – avoid twisting or kinking the belt.
• Check pulleys first: If your old belt snapped or frayed, inspect the engine and blade pulleys for burrs, rust, or wobble. A damaged pulley will shred a new belt quickly.

Should You Buy It

If you need a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for a Troy-Bilt, MTD, or Cub Cadet edger with a 35.75” belt, this is a solid choice for residential use. It’s inexpensive, fits correctly when model numbers match, and installs easily. Avoid it if you need an OEM belt for a commercial-grade machine or if your edger uses a different length or width.
