Stens OEM Replacement Belt 265-940 for Wright Mfg. 71460040

What It Is

The Stens OEM Replacement Belt 265-940 is a drive belt designed for Wright Mfg. commercial zero-turn mowers, specifically replacing the OEM Wright part 71460040. It transfers power from the engine to the deck blades, making it essential for cutting performance.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower model and deck size. This belt fits Wright Mfg. models with a 60-inch or 72-inch deck (check your owner’s manual for 71460040 part number). Measure your old belt: it should be 1/2-inch wide by 94 inches long (outside circumference). Stens 265-940 is an aftermarket replacement, not OEM Wright, but it’s built to OEM specs. Confirm your mower uses a single belt for the deck (not a two-belt system). If you have a different brand (e.g., Scag, Exmark), this won’t fit—stick to Wright-specific models.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Stens is a reliable aftermarket brand; this belt is Kevlar-reinforced for durability, comparable to OEM Wright.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the deck belt guard and routing around pulleys. Check your manual for tensioning; no special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: Belt length can vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances. Always measure your old belt’s length and width before ordering to avoid a too-loose or too-tight fit.
• Warranty: Stens offers a 1-year warranty against defects, but not against wear from normal use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Wright Mfg. zero-turn with a 60- or 72-inch deck and need a cost-effective, durable replacement for the OEM belt. It’s a solid choice for commercial or heavy residential use, but skip it if you prefer genuine Wright parts or have a different mower brand.
