Stens 266-195 Deck Drive Belt
The Stens 266-195 is an OEM replacement deck drive belt engineered for Bush Hog ATH 720 and RDTH 72 finish mowers. It is built for landscaping professionals and property owners who need reliable power transmission on demanding cutting decks. Premium materials resist stretching, cracking and glazing to extend service life in harsh working environments. The belt also withstands extreme temperature swings and resists dry rot during off-season storage.
Thermal and Power Performance
This belt operates within the mower's drivetrain without adding electrical load or generating measurable heat of its own. Its construction minimises friction losses so the engine can deliver consistent power to the blades. Resistance to glazing helps maintain grip under heavy cutting loads while reducing slippage that can raise pulley temperatures. The design supports dependable operation through hot summer cuts and cold storage periods alike.
Build Integration
Direct replacement fitment simplifies installation on compatible Bush Hog decks, reducing downtime during maintenance. No additional hardware or modifications are required beyond standard belt routing procedures. Extended durability means fewer replacement intervals, freeing up time for mowing rather than servicing. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How is the Stens 266-195 deck drive belt installed on the Bush Hog ATH 720, and what step is commonly missed?
Route the belt around the engine and deck pulleys following the mower's routing diagram, then tension the idler arm; the step often missed is verifying the belt sits fully in every pulley groove before engaging the tensioner.
What maintenance or replacement will the Stens 266-195 belt need over time?
The belt is a wear item that will eventually require replacement; inspect it each season for cracking, glazing, stretching or dry rot, especially after off‑season storage, and replace when any of those signs appear.
What is the first limit that appears on the Stens 266-195 belt under sustained heavy mowing?
Under continuous high‑load use the belt heats up and can begin to glaze or stretch, which reduces grip on the pulleys and signals the practical limit of its current service interval.
