954-0468 954-0467 Replacement Drive Belt Set for MTD Cub Cadet and Toro Mowers Replaces 754-0468A 954-0467A 112-0301 112-0305

What It Is

This is a two-belt drive set (954-0468 and 954-0467) that transfers power from the engine to the mower deck blades on select MTD, Cub Cadet, and Toro riding mowers. It’s a direct replacement for worn or broken belts in 42-inch and 46-inch deck models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s model number and deck size. This set fits Cub Cadet LT/LTX/GT series, MTD Yard Machines, and Toro TimeCutter/ZT models with 42" or 46" decks. Check your owner’s manual or look up your model on the manufacturer’s site. The belts measure 1/2" wide x 82.5" (954-0468) and 1/2" x 92.5" (954-0467) – measure your old belts to verify. OEM part numbers replaced include 754-0468A, 954-0467A, 112-0301, and 112-0305. This set is aftermarket, not OEM, so fitment may vary slightly on older or non-standard decks.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket belts are typically fine for residential use but may wear faster than OEM under heavy commercial use. Check reviews for durability on your specific model.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate – you’ll need a wrench to remove the deck, a belt routing diagram (often under the deck or in the manual), and possibly a spring puller for tensioner pulleys. Allow 30–60 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The belts are directional – ensure the V-side faces the pulleys and the flat side rides against idlers. Reversing them causes slipping or premature wear.
• Compatibility check: Some Cub Cadet models (e.g., LT1042) use a different belt length – double-check your deck’s belt routing before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible MTD, Cub Cadet, or Toro mower with a 42" or 46" deck and need an affordable, direct replacement for worn belts, this set is a solid choice for residential mowing. Skip it for commercial-grade use or if your mower requires OEM-only belts for warranty or precise fit.
