Great OEM belt! Don’t mess around with aftermarket crap. Fit is excellent!

Fit perfect. Got my mower back up and running!

Bought this belt for my LA120. This seller had the best price for this belt. John Deere belts last longer than any aftermarket kevlar belts. This belt is specifically made to John Deere standards by John Deere. I've tried every aftermarket belt out there and this is the one that lasts the longest. It costs more than the cheaper ones, but it will last much longer.

Good product

OEM belt. No more squeak when I engage the blades. Good value because the thickness and quality of the belt are superior to off brand replacement belts I have used in the past.

Perfect fit at a fair price

The belt was for a John Deere lawnmower. It has been installed and works perfectly.
