What It Is

The UDC Parts 954-0467A is an aftermarket lower drive belt that transfers power from the engine to the mower deck blades. It’s designed for select MTD-built riding mowers, including Cub Cadet LTX 1040, Troy-Bilt Bronco, and Toro LX460 models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm these three things:

1. Deck size – This belt fits 42-inch and 46-inch decks on compatible models. Measure your deck width if unsure.
2. OEM cross-reference – Replaces MTD 954-0467, 754-0467, 954-0467A, 754-0467A, and Troy-Bilt 112-0301. Check your owner’s manual or existing belt part number.
3. Physical dimensions – Belt length is 90.80 inches (outer circumference), width 1/2 inch, with aramid cord construction. Measure your old belt if possible—slight length variations can cause poor engagement or premature wear.

Common compatible models: Cub Cadet LTX 1040, LTX 1042, LTX 1046; Troy-Bilt Bronco 42-inch; Toro LX460, LX466. Not all MTD 42-inch decks use the same belt—verify your specific model number.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aramid cord is stronger than standard rubber belts and resists stretching better, but this is still an aftermarket part. Some users report shorter lifespan (1-2 seasons) compared to OEM.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the deck or routing through pulleys. A belt routing diagram (often under the deck or in the manual) is essential. No special tools needed, but a 1/2-inch wrench helps.
• Common gotcha: If your mower has a separate deck drive belt (for blade engagement) and a lower drive belt (from engine to deck), make sure you’re replacing the correct one. This belt is for the lower drive, not the PTO belt.
• Fitment note: On some Toro LX models, the belt may run slightly tighter than OEM, causing minor noise or vibration. Check pulley alignment if you notice this.

Should You Buy It

This is a solid budget option if you need a quick replacement for a 42- or 46-inch MTD-built mower and are comfortable with moderate DIY installation. It’s not as durable as OEM, but at roughly half the price, it’s a good choice for occasional or light-duty mowing. If you mow commercially or want maximum longevity, stick with the OEM belt.
