Best belt for the money
The DGT 6000 is probably one of the best tractor mowers Craftsman ever built. The ground drive belt is not easy to put on and will normally take about 30 minutes.

Install of Garden TRACTOR DRIVE BELT
THE PRODUCT WAS FINE. MY INSTRUCTIONS IN MY MANUAL DIDN'T TELL ME EVERYTHING. THE NEW BELT WENT OVER THE ENGINE PULLEY FIRST. I WAS TO NEXT PUT THE PULLEY OVER THE TRANSAXLE PULLEY. I COULD NOT PUT THE PULLEY ON BECAUSE I COULDN'T SQUEEZE THE BELT BETWEEN THE PULLEY AND THE PIN BELT KEEPER. THEIR JUST WASN'T ENOUGHT SPACE BETWEEN THIS PRESSED ON PIN TO KEEP BELT IN PLACE AND THE PULLEY. I AM STUCK.

A little bit challenging and confusing on the firs
Installation was very easy. Once I figure it out how to configure the belt in the police and the twist it only took about 15 minutes.
