Stens 266-175 Mtd Drive Belt
This Stens 266-175 drive belt is an OEM replacement part built for MTD lawn tractors. It is manufactured using premium materials chosen to resist stretching, cracking and glazing during heavy use. The belt is engineered to withstand harsh working environments and extreme temperature swings from hot to cold weather. It also resists dry rot that can develop when equipment sits in storage during the off-season.
Fits MTD tractor owners needing a direct replacement
This belt suits owners of compatible MTD lawn tractors who want a longer service interval and straightforward installation. Buyers who need a belt for a different brand or a non-MTD model should verify their part number before ordering. It is not intended for automotive engines or industrial machinery outside the specified lawn tractor application.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Stens 266-175 drive belt on my MTD lawn tractor, and what step is often missed?
Route the belt around the engine and transaxle pulleys following the deck decal diagram, then ensure the belt sits fully inside all idler pulley grooves; the step often missed is re-engaging the idler spring so tension is applied before tightening the deck.
What maintenance or replacement will the Stens 266-175 belt need later?
Inspect the belt each season for cracking, glazing or dry rot caused by temperature swings and storage; replace it once the rubber shows surface damage or the belt stretches enough to slip under load.
What limit appears first when the Stens 266-175 belt runs under sustained heavy mowing?
Heat buildup from continuous high-torque load can accelerate glazing and stretching, so the belt’s grip on the pulleys degrades before the rubber itself fails.
