I have used these Scag 482090 for years and were a blue color, held up very well. When they changed to the tan color they are heating up stretching on me and twisting. I cut a defective one in half and they only have 7 radial band near the widest part of belt and no where enough, needs to be throughout belt strengthening thinner part of belt. I was told from local repair shop Scag has them throughout to counteract high heat. All pulleys/spindles are operational and great condition. the tan ones are not as good as the blue ones
