This IS a stout belt, sort of a double "V", looks like it would work "inside out". I keep the sheaves clear of debris and grease them religiously (I burn candles and chant while doing it). I've kicked the belt twice, from sticks getting trapped while mowing. The last time, it knicked the belt just a little, and that's what got me to thinking about having a spare around, as much as I mow. I think the original has a lot of life left, though.
My GT235 has three belts, and I've replaced all of them once already, and the mower drive belt (PTO to deck) twice, at 450 hrs. I'm over halfway there with the X748, so I wanted to be ready, JIC.
