This fit my Craftsman T110 riding mower. I followed a Youtube tutorial on the install, and this specific belt was recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2 inch longer than OE *by H***Y on July 27, 2025* The belt seems to be of good quality and construction. The width is fine, and the taper angle is correct of the pulleys, but the length is 1/2 inch too long. I personally don't think this will be a problem on my mower but check yours before you run the belt to see if you have this issue. A loose belt can cause slippage resulting in damage to the belt and pulleys. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect fit works great *by K***S on July 8, 2025* Perfect fit works great. I have 6 acres and just finished mowing the entire property.
