When should I replace my mower deck belt?
There’s no definite amount of time that a mower belt is supposed to last, but increased mower use shortens the interval in which a belt needs replacement. Simply put, more use equals more wear. Additionally, faulty belts or mechanical failures like a seized pulley can make lawn mower belts break prematurely.
How tight should my mower belt be?
Roughly, starting out about as tight as an alternator belt, maybe an inch of play side to side So, tight but not super tight, hard to explain it just takes practice. Too tight is no good, I find if it’s tight enough where it doesn’t slap around at all then it’s also too tight, ain’t life grand.

deck belts usually last about 1/2 the time a drive belt does they also get more debris around the pulleys and take much more punishment than drive belts.

Kevlar also has a higher tensile modulus (lower stretch) than other tensile cord types, so Kevlar -reinforced belts experience less elongation over time. For V – belts, Kevlar (aramid) tensile cords increase load capacity and reduce belt stretch.
