Easy Repair. Worked as expected
Appears to be exact replacement belt and fit starting from the rear, feeding it through the designated guides on the Snapper forward. Had to giggle the gears around and squeeze the belt between the capstan(?)spindle and the gears assembly - but it went pretty easy. Delivery was earlier than expected so I can give this item 5 stars. However... I am waiting for ereplacementparts to ask me about my mower starter assembly. That will not be 5 stars.

We found a video to do an easier repair to replace the belt we loosened the bolts and. Inverted 2 screwdriver up under the motor to make it easier to loop the belt the drive shaft if you fine the easier way to replace belt on a snapper riding lawn mower it’s way easier than removing gas tank and motor then turning mower on its side just will have to have a small hand to get in there my husbands hand was to big to get in there
