BlueStars 954-05022A Deck Belt - for 46-inch Mower Deck Cub Cadet XT1 LT46 XT2 LX46 XT2-LX46 KW Enduro Craftsman T240 T2800 T3100 - Replaces 954-05022 754-05022A 754-05022 | Aramid Cord | 1/2 x 108.5

What It Is

This is a replacement deck belt for 46-inch mower decks, designed to drive the blades on select Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, and Craftsman T-series lawn tractors. It’s a direct-fit upgrade for OEM belts, using aramid cord for added durability under heavy use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower has a 46-inch stamped steel deck (not fabricated). The belt measures 1/2 inch wide x 108.5 inches long. It fits:

• Cub Cadet XT1 LT46, XT2 LX46, XT2-LX46, KW Enduro (2015+ models)
• Craftsman T240, T2800, T3100 (with 46-inch deck)

Replaces OEM part numbers: 954-05022, 754-05022A, 754-05022. Cross-check your mower’s model number (on frame or under seat) with the deck size—some 46-inch decks use a different length belt. This is an aftermarket belt, not genuine Cub Cadet, but matches OEM specs. Measure your old belt’s width and length if possible; a worn belt may stretch but should match new length within ±0.5 inches.

Key Things to Know

• Aramid cord construction resists heat and stretching better than standard rubber belts—good for frequent mowing or tall grass.
• Installation is moderate difficulty: requires removing the deck or routing around pulleys (check your manual for belt path diagram). No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: This belt does not fit 42-inch or 54-inch decks. Also, some XT1 models with the “Enduro” engine use a different belt routing—verify your deck’s idler pulley position.
• Price vs. OEM: At ~$21, it’s about half the cost of a genuine Cub Cadet belt, but may wear faster under heavy commercial use.

Should You Buy It

Right for homeowners with a 46-inch Cub Cadet or Craftsman tractor who want a reliable, budget-friendly replacement for seasonal mowing. Skip it if you need a belt for a fabricated deck, commercial duty, or a different deck size—stick with OEM for exact fit.
